Carli versus Thuren

[Craig2011]

Carli and Thuren seem to be 2 of the biggest names for high-end off-road suspensions on HD trucks. Interested to hear opinions on one being better than the other, when comparing similar kits? I notice the Carli kits seems to be more complete, with radius arm drops and drop brackets to move everything that needs to be moved etc, just as an example. Thanks.

The difference when it comes down to it is price. If you go to Thurens website and price it all out it will be cheaper. Thuren has been in the Ram world for a long time and they do a very good job. Carli your buying a very well know name and Thuren is no slouch either.

Radius arms and drop brackets aren't always needed depending on what height you go with. I would suggest messaging Thuren and tell them what your looking for and they will explain and tell you what you actually need with out breaking the bank. Customer service from Thuren is top notch and if your in the area they welcome anyone to stop by and BS.

I have full thuren suspension under my 3500 and it's awesome night and day ride difference.

I have nothing to compare to but I have a carli leveling on my ram. I think. I got the dual steering stabilizer setup with it. I got it because I had the factory air ride and it worked with it. Ride quality, I have nothing to compare it to as my last lofted truck was a powerstroke 18" lift on 40s.

This ram rides pretty smooth. Still rides like a truck but I like it. But I spent a ton of money on it. I could have leveled it for like a G a cheap way. I wanted to atleast tell myself. Do it once do it right and get best ride quality I can. Not sure if I did, but I will continue to tell myself that! Hahah
