Dodge Long Travel Rear End

Referring back to the Dodge Ram Long Travel Suspension post that showcases almost 20" of travel with a modified full leaf pack and new spring shackles, the latest news is completed designs and first test runs.

The rear shocks stay under the bed with the addition of a chromoly tube tandem shock mount. The first installation of these shocks is being done with 16" travel, Bilstein 4-tube bypass racing shocks. This new setup has been completely designed in house, including the layout of the bypass tubes that match the bump zone compression travel as well as the characteristics of the Dodge Ram.

These should be debuted here shortly, not too soon for the start of the desert season, which will mean that by the time we all rally up for a Halloween weekend run to the sand, one of our trucks will be dropping 37's out of the wheel well through the whoops and probably sporting a coil-over front end to match.

Just another round of the Carli Suspension delivery and this year is set to be our heaviest hitting movement in the history of the company. Stay tuned for more updates on this project.

The real beauty of this addition is the fact that cost control was implemented in the project, cost control for the customer that is. In order to get this kind of travel the shocks have to be relocated as the compressed dimensions won't allow for longer travel. Keeping the bed of your truck functional means keeping the shocks under it. There are other ways to, however it would lead to a price tag that would create a disadvantage for some... leaving room in the budget for custom shocks or any of the goodies that the company is rolling out.
