![]() The mount extends forward and cants outward to align perfectly with the new upper mount while providing optimal tire clearance.īecause the shock position changes, the factory bed support must be modified, we provide a bolt-in solution to support the bed laterally from the factory control arm bracket once the factory support it removed. The bottom shock mount sandwiches the factory mount utilizing 2 existing holes in the mount as well as the factory shock mounting location with the provided hardware. ![]() The tubular rear frame crossmember exits through the outside of the frame serving as the perfect location to which to weld our replacement upper shock mounts. In the rear, we move the shocks from their extremely limiting factory location inside the frame-pocket. With these installed, your coil spring will not budge. Once in place, they appear factory as they’re nearly completely covered by the factory isolator. Compound this factory shortcoming by adding big shocks, extended travel, and a heavy right foot off the pavement and additional support for the coils becomes cheap insurance against a coil re-installation off-the-grid! Machined from a solid piece of mild steel, these supports require front suspension disassembly, cleaning of the factory coil bucket, welding, priming and painting. It’s not uncommon to see flattened isolators and springs that look like they’re going to slide forward and out of the bucket. Combine this with a lower coil seat that’s angled forward and inward creating a spring pressure that induces both forward bowing and slipping coils. The factory coil buckets offer very little support for the isolator – and thus, the coil – beyond a small hole to index its fitment. We provide extended Stainless Brake Lines and routing brackets to clear the brake lines from the shocks completely.Īnother weak point…. Once the factory shock mount is removed, the Carli shock mount will be welded in place providing peace of mind and as much space as possible to cycle the 3.0″ diameter cylinders of the Dominator shocks.Įven slightly offsetting the lower shock mount, the factory brake lines that come over the top of the radius arm need to be relocated to prevent the wiper cap (blue cap on the bottom of the shock body from which the shaft extends) contacting the factory lines. The top index included in the side specific mount servers to locate the shock mount off the axle’s radius arm mount. The front, lower shock mount – we provide a 1/4″, boxed replacement for the weak, factory stamped, half-welded mount. Inquire with your retailer for more information. NOTE: Shocks come Silver and Blue, pictured custom color shocks carry 10-12 Week lead time and additional cost. ![]() ![]() In the front, the shocks utilize a 3.0″ King with a large Pintop Bushing to secure them to the factory location. Unlike King’s standard shafts, there is no coating to wear off, weather is far less likely to hurt them and if there is a small chip, you can round the edges with emery cloth to ensure the seal housing isn’t damaged as they’re not brittle like the stock, hardened shafts. We round off ALL our King shocks with shafts machined and polished from a solid piece of 17-4 Stainless. We designed a custom piston to determine proper base flow rates to ensure the shock works well in the heavy duty truck platform we then tuned the shocks around the custom pistons based on seat-of-the-pants feel. In an effort to provide customers with the best product, we do not sell off-the-shelf King 3.0s. As the old adage goes, there’s no replacement for displacement. The Dominator is pinnacle offering in boasting front Carli Signature tuned, King 3.0” remote reservoir shocks so large, we needed to engineer mounting systems front and rear for them to cycle properly and strengthen the chassis for the larger shocks. ![]()
