The Carli Commuter system is designed for 2017-2022 Ford Super Duty trucks wanting improved ride for daily driving and standard truck usage. While this system levels the truck, the rear goal is dramatically improved ride quality, which is accomplished through completely custom Carli spec 2" diameter shocks, coils tuned specifically for gas and diesel applications, and the highest quality USA made supporting parts. With almost double the factory wheel travel and a huge change in ride, this Carli Commuter level height system is in a league of its own. 

The mono-tube, internal reservoir, Carli SPEC 2.0 boasts 6063 Aluminum construction, anodized body for corrosion resistance, 5/8″ hardened steel chrome plated shaft, full serviceability & rebuildability and are built with 1-peice bushings in the 6061 billet rod-ends. These shocks are spec’d with a premium 5WT oil to balance lubricity, consistent damping and the widest available range in temperature variation. We back these with a 1-year warranty, serviced by Carli. More details on these shocks can be found below.

System Includes: linear rate coil springs, front and rear shock package, brake line kit, bump stop drops, caster correction shims and adjustable track bar.

  • Experience improved handling and stability with the Carli Commuter Suspension System featuring Carli-Tuned corrosion resistant 2.0 IFP shocks.
  • Shocks included are valved specifically for use with stock leaf springs or Carli Progressive Add-a-Pack when selected above.
  • NOT RECOMMENDED for use with Carli full Progressive Spring Pack
  • System includes linear rate coil springs, front and rear shock package, brake line kit, bump stop drops, caster correction shims and adjustable track bar.
  • Increases wheel travel to 9" front and 13" rear.
  • Fits up to 37" tires with ease for a more aggressive appearance and better offroad performance.

COMPONENTS

- Carli Front Ford Super Duty 2.5" Leveling Coils
- Carli 2.0 IFP Front/Rear Custom Tuned Shock Package
- Carli 2017+ Ford Super Duty Adjustable Track Bar
- Carli 2017+ Ford Super Duty Front Stainless Braided Brake Lines
- Caster Correction Shims
- Carli Leveling Front Bump Stop Drops

The Commuter package shocks are offered in two valving profiles. Select the stock leaf pack/add a pack or Carli full replacement rear leaf packs accordingly to what you'll be using on the truck. We do not recommend running the full leaf tune with stock leaf packs and vise versa. 

The 2020+ Ford F250/350 Platform is the same as the 17-19 but they lowered the front 1″ and the rear 1″-1.5″ depending on the cab configuration and 250/350 designation. For this reason, the only change to the suspension systems will be the stated lift height. The 2.5″ Lift Systems from the previous generation, 2017-19, are now 3.5″ for the 2020.

The Best Leveling Kit Available

Most Super Duty Owners do not plan on jumping their trucks or hitting rock crawling trails - They want to be more comfortable on their daily drive, on their way to a jobsite, or on that long family road trip.

They also don't want to spend $5-10k for capability that they do not need, but want to invest in a quality upgrade with real benefits beyond fitting bigger tires.

Enter the Commuter Series.

The Design

The Super Duty Commuter 2.0 system is designed for people seeking the best on-road ride quality that don’t plan to off-road their vehicle beyond low-speed trail driving. Utilizing Carli SPEC 2.0″ Diameter, Internal Reservoir shocks, we’ve developed a tune that delivers all-around comfort and ride quality designed for on-road, in town, highway, and towing/hauling.

The Shocks

The mono-tube, internal reservoir, Carli SPEC 2.0 boasts 6063 Aluminum construction, anodized body for corrosion resistance, 5/8″ hardened steel chrome plated shaft, full serviceability & rebuildability and are built with 1-peice bushings in the 6061 billet rod-ends. These shocks are spec’d with a premium 5WT oil to balance lubricity, consistent damping and the widest available range in temperature variation. We back these with a 1-year warranty, serviced by Carli.

Custom Valving Based on Your Leaf Pack


These Shocks are custom tuned for whichever leaf pack you have via internal shock valving. This makes a huge difference vs. basic leveling kits when it comes to ride quality and longevity. There are 3 different options to choose from:

Best: A replacement Full Progressive Spring Pack

A replacement Full Progressive Spring Pack (reduces capacity to a “light” ¾-ton). The Full Progressive Leaf Spring Pack offers the best ride and will shift the axle slightly forward in the wheel well to ensure maximum tire clearance for a 37” M/T at full compression. The Full Replacement Leaf Springs do not require any block (factory block is removed). This will be the best possible ride, but sacrifices payload.

If you do not plan to frequently haul 1500lb+ in the bed, this should not be an issue. Additionally, customers tend to add air bags in order to compensate for the load when needed, and enjoy the ride quality at all other times.

Better: Factory leaf-pack modifying Progressive Add-a-Pack

Factory leaf-pack modifying Progressive Add-a-Pack (maintains factory payload capacity and pairs with the factory 3-5/8” block). The Add-a-Packs are designed to work with trucks equipped with the 2” rear block. Super Duties equipped with a 3-5/8″ tall block from the factory will require the factory 2″ tall Block to achieve a leveled stance with the Add-a-Pack. Part Number: 7C3Z-5598-L and 7C3Z-5598-K.

Good: Factory OEM Leaf Pack

Good: The final option is to select “NO rear option” in this scenario, the rear lift will be left up to the customer as no rear spring modification is purchased. With this option, the rear springs are unaltered and customers will be best with the “PAP” valving profile.

Though this won't ride as well as the other two, this is still a substantial improvement over stock or a standard leveling kit.

Additionally, Carli offers their Signature series for a shock tuned specifically for the OEM rear leaf pack for a simple bolt in upgrade to replace those old shocks on your truck.

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.
