Carli Performance with Timber Grove airbags

[vandersnoot]

Anyone run this setup or similar? I recently installed the Carli Performance 2.5 kit and am 1.5” low in the rear with an RSI SmartCap installed as well. So I figure I have three options….different springs, rear spacers, or airbags (which I already own, but haven’t installed). Just looking for any insight or feedback because I know next to nothing about the suspension on these trucks and don’t want to limit travel. Thanks in advance.

The timber Groves will give you about an inch at recommended bag psi. A slight bump up in psi will get an inch and half, but also a bit different stiffer ride. More closely matching a 2500, but it'd be level

Yeah, that’s what I was worried about. Guess I’ll have to look at another brand for coils.

I ordered the Carli "Rebel" springs, but who knows when they will actually ship. That should solve the 1" issue. Timber Groves are still sitting in my garage uninstalled.

The HD springs (+500lb static weight) are supposed to be coming soon too. I don’t know when, but that sounds like the Carli solution for the added weight of the cap, depending on what else you’re carrying.

Eta on those HD springs? Our setup is going to be heavy.

I have an RSI SmartCap as well and I run Dayton CargoMaxx XHD variable rate coils (Dayton claims OEM ride height) and a 2” RL spacer. My center of hub to fender measures at 27” at the rear, 25” in the front. My normal camping load is around 900 lbs and that drops it down to 25.5-26” in the rear. Can’t say it rides like a Caddy anymore but hey it’s a truck.

I don’t have any information beyond what can be found here: https://carlisuspension.com/2019-ram-1500-rebel/

The article isnt clear to me whether they are saying the +1 inch standard Rebel springs or the HD springs are shipping in May/June timeframe.
