    I run a carli on my 2020 ram 2500 with the fox tuned shocks. If I hit a bump while driving the truck will go up and just sit like your riding on a cloud. Amazing ride for a 3/4 ton.

      Cody knows his stuff, if he recommended Backcountry go with it, they are both reservoir shocks. Im guessing Carli’s in house shock is probably way better then the old fox 2.0 reservoir
      You're definitely the ideal user for the Pintop system. That's a lot of miles off maintained roads per year.

        I put similar miles on sh**ty west Texas lease roads per year, but I put 3-4x that much on that highway as well. If the majority of my time was off pavement I’d expect the pin top to be the way to go. However the BC has improved my ride immensely off road, and quite a bit better on road as well. Mostly noticed in town over potholes etc.

          Wish I had the jack for that kinda system. I cheaped out and just put 5100's on the current truck. Very negligible difference, still rides like a load of bricks on the highway.

            Completely understand. My current vehicle is the first one I could justify spending the price of admission for Carli parts. Once you own one, you fully realize why their stuff costs so much. It's truly a night and day difference.

            If a manufacturer would team up with Carli and equip all their trucks with those type suspensions, they'd be top of class sellers in the light duty truck market.

                Icon or Carli for 2022 F-250

                Well close to 10k later[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji3][emoji3][emoji3].

                I’m an idiot.

                Went In thinking I was going to spend around $7200 for the backcountry, wheels,tires, and labor. Ended up doing the carli add a pack vs the block, EXT SWAY BAR LINK & DROP BRACKET KIT - 4.5"/5.5", and carli steering stabilizer.

                  You'll love it. Good call on the new spring pack. Do the Carlisle shackles too. Did it on my tundra. Made a difference.

                        Probably going to be a week or two because they had to order the kit. Said it should be in next week and a day to install.

                          Cool man, you’ll love it and will notice the difference in ride quality as well as handling.

                            One thing I will say is remember high end shocks require more maintenance. I am going to sell off my highly modified tundra or retire it specifically because I don’t like the extra maintenance that comes with modifying thing. I ordered a new tremor so I could leave it stock.

                              Any chance you have the HDPP package on your 250? If so you will not be happy with the add a pack. If you don’t have the HDPP on your truck it should ride very well.

                                That’s the reason I ordered my Tremor too we’ve seen how that’s gone so far lol
