Only thing that kills me about every diesel Ram made in the last 10+ years........The MADE IN MEXICO sticker on the drivers door......

Sweet truck. Carli makes a great product, which would be the icing on the cake! Congrats.

I'm also looking for a new truck the only problem with Ram is the lack of horse power. The 3500 is only 385 where the Ford has 440 that's a huge difference. Currently I have a Ram 2500 megCab that has a tuner which is about as fast as a stock Ford.

I drove them all, and the "seat of the pants" dyno ranks them all within 10% of each other in performance. Yes, the Cummins is the lowest on the HP/TQ figures currently, but the truck still has plenty of power. Also, if you look at the head to head comparisons on the 2017 model trucks, even though the GMs have less power than the Fords, the GMs out perform them in the towing tests.

While I may feel that I need more grunt, I have a dealer that is willing to work with me to change the axle gear ratios if I want, retain my warranty, and not have to tune/mod the engine/drivetrain which could hurt reliability.

Also, the Ram 3500 has more power than a Ram 2500 WHEN YOU HAVE THE AISIN transmission.
With the 68RFE transmission (which is all that's available in the 2500, speaking automatics), Ram detunes the Cummins 50HP and 100 lb/ft of Torque, because they know the 68RFE is 'softer' than an Aisin. The 3500 (which you can get with the Aisin or 68RFE) allows you the full power of the Cummins, without being detuned; ONLY if you pay for the AISIN upgrade.

They also have a closed page on FB for their members, where they answer questions for their customers, quickly. I kind of like that support; as well as I've had their President and Chief Engineer on the phone 'splaining things to me.

I had a full Carli Commuter package on my 03 3500 Ram along with their steering stabilizer and free floating anti sway bar. Absolutely loved the setup. That was less a lift setup vs a leveling kit but still made the truck ride much smoother. Eventually I plan on doing their leveling kit for my 17 2500. As much as I like the look of a lifted truck, It would not be practical for me. I'm sure you will love the setup on your truck.
