DODGE'S FIRST EVER 3.0 BOLT ON SYSTEM
The June, 2007, issue of Diesel Power Magazine features the Dominator 3.0 Suspension System, inside you will find the component layout and the write up on this first to market production. Shown below is the partial page from the magazine.
Carli's Dominator 3.0 system features 3.0 King Off Road shocks on all 4 corners. These are custom designs from King, specifically for the Dodge CTD, engineered by Sage himself. Prior to modifying King's 3.0 shock design and valving, there wasn't an option to bolt on 3 inch reservoir shocks to a 3rd generation Dodge Ram truck. This system was in design and testing for quite a while. In order to tune the valves to work in concert with Carli's front coil and rear leaf pack spring rates. This is a true system. Completely engineered to work with all of the components offered, including hydraulic bump stops.
Extreme Performance
These aren't your every day King Shocks... The body is a custom length, the shaft is a custom length and the rod ends have modified bearing sizes so that these monsters squeeze right into billet shock towers and bolt onto your rig for flawless fit and performance to OEM mounts. In the rear the design is a weld-on piggy back reservoir and sporting a 1" shaft, these are the toughest shocks you'll find! Stepping up from the 2.5 systems gives 50% more piston surface area, going from 4 square inches to a full 6 inches on each shock. This is equal to dual 2.5's, however tuning a big single is a lot more manageable.
Carli Suspension, Inc is pushing the envelope every day and offering the market suspension solutions that nobody else can offer. Another industry first release for Sage Carli and another reason to hold off on those new kitchen cabinets... wait until you see what this system is capable of!

This truck was outfitted with Carli's Advanced Dominator 3.0 Suspension System, sporting 3" King Off Road Shocks on all 4 corners, amongst some prototype goodies. This rig is showcasing some of the lastest componentry Sage is working on. Glass Works fenders, Walker Evans bead-lock wheels powder coated black, rolling 37" Toyo MT's - this truck is leading the consumer market in baddas
We couldn't believe what we did to this truck. After watching the video footage, there was nothing left. Sage Carli just dealt the industry a Royal Flush in hardcore.
Before Carli Suspension, you had two choices... massive off-road gains, or a comfortable street drive. Would you want to commute to work on the 91 freeway in a stock full race truck? F*CK NO!.. On the other hand, would you ever take a stock Dodge Ram and hit up a desert race course?.. so what does that leave us with? 90% of the time driving the truck, it rides comfortably and quiet... or 10% of the time it takes big bumps in stride... but somewhere in this equation is a huge sacrifice... NOT ANYMORE!

Once in a while we head out to the dirt and just have to play... today was one of those days. Taking an opportunity to make a positive community impact, we brought a member of the Big Brothers of America and a special little boy got to experience an exhilerating ride in a Dodge Ram, built by Carli Suspension, Inc. Maintaining family values while testing our latest shock tuning was a perfect excuse to spend the day with friends, family and (of course) a video camera... watch 100 mph runs across the southern california desert in a Dominator 3.0 equipped Dodge Ram.
After various shock tuning sessions, we get the trucks into the dirt and test it on the bumps at high speed. Here we are testing a long wheel base, Dodge Ram Megacab in Glamis. Holding 80+ mph over decent size whoops, the truck rides level and soaks up everything we go over. Tuning the King Race Shocks is a constant work cycle at Carli Suspension, Inc and the more we learn, the faster our trucks get in the dirt and smoother they get on the freeway drive home... the best of both worlds.
Carli Suspension tests locally, such as this afternoon in the sand, and all the way to the rigors of Baja... short clips like this allow us to view the attitude of the truck at high speeds.
