Cole's 2020 Ram 2500 Cummins was the second 2019+ Ram we're aware of to get 38s, and since then has definitely been a fan favorite on the internet for it's unique color (factory Olive Green Pearlcoat) and it's classy but tough looks.

Off Road Expo has come and gone again and in our opinion 2017 featured some of our favorite builds to date!
Our most involved project for the show was Chuck's 2017 Ford F250 Super Duty. Carli Suspension provided us with a custom built 4.5" Dominator 3.0 system. On 2005-2016 Ford Super Duty trucks, installing 3.0 shocks was a bit more straightforward. The factory coil buckets on earlier trucks are held on with rivets. Once the factory rivets are removed, custom fabricated coil buckets that allow for shocks larger than 2.5" in diameter can be installed using grade 8 hardware. On 2017+ trucks ..read more

We recently picked up a 2012 Mega Cab shop truck to replace our 2010. We jumped at the opportunity to purchase this truck as it came in a very unique color - Sagebrush Pearl. Here is a picture of what it looked like brand new:

We purchased the truck with a Carli 6" Unchained IBP system with the front and rear shocks finished in black/gold. The rear IBP shocks are remote reservoirs with internal bypass features rather than the traditional external bypass tubes. Here are ..read more
