The Carli E-Venture System is an advanced, electronically controlled shock package for the 2017+ 6.7L Diesel Super Duty, that dramatically improves both on road and off road capability and comfort, without compromises.

The onboard computer and sensors read and react to the terrain and vehicle data 250 times PER SECOND, adjusting the SDI dynamically valved 2.5" shocks and ensuring the best ride possible. Carli has pre-programed three presets for highway, rock crawling, and high speed off road, while also allowing for fine adjustment if carrying a heavy payload or towing.

This is the only shock package available that does not have a downside, and offers features for every use case. Whether you haul heavy materials for work and occasionally hit a trail, or  you want to go rock crawling but be able to pull your camper home in comfort, these shocks will keep up and adapt with a turn of a dial. 

FEATURES

  • SDI electronically controlled shocks that react 250 times per second for on-the-fly instant shock tuning.
  • High tech, but not hard to install. Comes with pre-terminated and easy to install harness, making installation not much more than a shock change.
  • Mountain, Street, and Desert modes that have been EXTENSIVELY refined and can be activated instantaneously with the push of a button.
  • Tow Mode function which gives the user incremental control over the rear shock firmness to compensate for heavy loads and add stability when hauling / towing.
  • SDI 2.5", Remote-Reservoir Shocks Front and Rear
  • Hard Anodized Aluminum Body/Reservoirs w/17-4 Stainless Shock Shafts
  • 9" Front Wheel Travel, 12" Rear
  • Includes Shocks, Wiring, ECU, IMU & Touch Screen, and Front Reservoir Mounts

Design

The future has arrived. The E-Venture system stays two steps ahead of the driver thanks to data input from a provided engine mounted sensor and factory sensors via the OBDII port. The in-cab mounted “Brain” of this system processes the information through a proprietary algorithm. Thanks to this cornucopia of electronic goodness, the E-Venture System reads and reacts the terrain 250 times per second. The resulting ride is the Best. The “best” is an absolute statement… On road? Off Road? Gravel? Rutted, pot-hole filled unmaintained lease roads? Yes… Yes to all of it. The systems takes the capability of a 2.5″ Shock well beyond the threshold we’ve come to expect!

The Shocks

The shocks themselves are top-tier construction. Hard-anodized aluminum bodies and reservoirs pair with 17-4 Stainless Shock Shafts will stand the test of time and elements. Billet Rod ends house teflon lined bearings to ensure industry leading performance and longevity.

Sensors

Via the communication harness, the ECU accesses data from the engine mounted IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit). This unit senses any change in pitch/roll of the vehicle. The data from this IMU combines with information gathered from the OBDII port (Brake Pressure, RPM, Steering Angle, Throttle, etc.) to anticipate changes in chassis movement. Subsequently, it firms and softens the shocks where necessary to maintain a chassis that’s as level as possible.

Touch Screen

The most important part of the interface is the one with which you interact. SDI put in a TON of work here to ensure a user-friendly interface with clean integration. We worked with them to take it a step further. The Bracket and Touch Screen mount in place of the bottom grab-handle bolt cover placing the touch screen both visible and out of the way. We provide a longer bolt to secure the screen. This location allows for clean routing of the wiring harness that feeds the Touch Screen without the need to trim the grab handle or weather-stripping.

Carli Modes

We worked with SDI to refine the drive modes; we wanted to increase the seat-of-the pants change between each mode. Offered on the E-Venture System are Mountain (Rock-Crawl), Street and Desert Modes. This is in order from softest/least sensitive to most controlled/active. These modes have been EXTENSIVELY refined; there’s nothing standard about them. All you, as the customer, need to do is select the mode and the system will activate the profile instantaneously.

Pro Mode

This mode takes it a step further for those that like to get nerdy. This mode allows users to adjust the Pitch, Roll, Brake, Throttle and Steering Response. Don’t worry, if your curiosity gets ahead of your knowledge or you failed to track your changes, we’ve implemented a “Restore Default” setting.

Operating Screen

While driving, the screen is defaulted to your interface showing the real-time correction at each corner. Numerical values between 0-10 show the adjustment intensity. You’ll notice these numbers change in speed of correction and amount of correction as the drive modes are altered. Swipe the screen to the right and you’ll find the roll/pitch read-out indicating the data being fed by the IMU.

This screen is also dimmable to a few different brightness to avoid distraction for those long, late-night drives where you won’t be looking at the touch screen.

Hauling

Arguably the most handy feature for our customers is the Rear Load Adjustment. This gives the user incremental control over the rear dampers. When loaded, the rear can be adjusted to find the balance of comfort and support OR, as we preferred, max the rear support to prioritize load support. This adjustment makes a huge difference in the rear control when loaded; this will likely be the most championed feature.

Wheel and Tire

Wheel and Tire: Factory Wheels SHOULD NOT be run with oversized tires. They’re known to rub the radius arm, sway bar and most concerning – Brake Lines. Factory tires and factory wheels will work without issue but we DO NOT recommend running oversized tires on factory wheels. On our 2.5” Ford Systems, we recommend 17”-18” wheels, no more than 9” wide with 5.5” of backspacing with Carli Fabricated Radius Arms or 5” Backspace with factory arms; 5” will require a bit more trimming. Tires, 37×12.5” will fit with some trimming; 35” will likely fit without trimming. The more rubber, the better the small bump compliance will be at proper inflation pressures. The ride will firm up as you go larger in wheel diameter.
