Carli Bilstein 2.65
Now Shipping with ACV reservoirs at no extra cost!
This is the system that offers something unique - the amount of tuning resources that went into this project is incredible. The ACV development was spearheaded by Sage and Bilstein and the result is an all around performer that cannot be beat on the road or in the dirt. This is the most bolt-on performance you can get in a base suspension system.

Bilstein 2.65 ACV System
Bilstein 2.65 Dodge Ram Suspension System
The newest member of the Carli Suspension family of Dodge Ram systems that has already lead to substantial advancement in our concept of shock tuning. Bilstein's billet 7075 aluminium piston features more tunability through variable bleed shims. Previously we worked with three free bleed ports that are even open or closed. With the introduction of this technology, we are able to cascade the knowledge throughout the entire family of suspension systems. This has rendered quite a surprise where the on-road performance was so good initially, we figured that the off-road tuning would be a journey... we figured. This system is incredibily capable and so far, its performance is equal both on and off road and it keeps getting better. Bilstein 2.65 shocks are derived from their exclusive Blackhawk bypass race products.
The Bilstein 2.65 9100 series shocks offered by Carli Suspension come with Jounce Stops at the base of the shaft. This is a specially designed durometer rubber stop that assists with the final 2.5 inches of compression dampening.
What you feel is an even smoother transition from compression dampening to full bump travel. These are intended to augment the current bumpstop, whether that is factory rubber stops, or Carli's hydro-pneumatic bump stop. It's just one more layer of protection from massive compression events and an additional seat of your pants improvement and increase in comfort.
Both front and rear 9100 series shocks are offered with Jounce Stops.

Notes for 2010+ trucks:
Some of the 2010+ trucks use larger 12mm threaded hardware as opposed to the 10mm threaded hardware on most trucks. You will need to confirm what version your truck uses by checking the hex nut size on the top of your factory end link. If it uses an 18mm socket then you have the 12mm version. If the nut is a smaller 15 or 16mm nut then you will need the standard 2010+ end links.
