Why Choose the Pintop System?

• All-Around Performance:
  • The Pintop is a Jack-of-all-trades, offering exceptional ride quality for daily driving while expertly handling light to medium-duty off-road adventures. Most of our demonstration videos showcase the Pintop, highlighting its incredible versatility.

• Enhanced Shock Technology:
  • Equipped with Carli-specific, blueprinted King 2.5” shocks, providing 55% more piston surface area than standard 2.0” shocks—arguably the upgrade these trucks should have come with from the factory!
  • Custom-designed pistons ensure proper base flow rates, tuned for optimal seat-of-the-pants feel, making every drive an exhilarating experience.

• Durable Construction:
  • Shocks are made from solid 17-4 Stainless Steel, eliminating the risk of coating wear. Even if they incur small chips, you can easily repair them with emery cloth, ensuring longevity.
  • Finished with King oil rated for temperatures as low as -55°F, these shocks are built to withstand the test of time and weather.

Ride Height and Travel Enhancements:

• Increased Front Height:
  • The Pintop system raises your truck 4.5” in the front, thanks to taller Progressive Rate Coil Springs that provide additional wheel travel for improved comfort and performance.

• Optimized Front Geometry:
  • Radius Arm Drop Brackets reset the pivot point, ensuring linear travel for the best ride quality.
  • Sway Bar Link & Drop Brackets Kit: Resets the sway bar engagement point. An End Link Kit is essential for proper function and is available as an option.
  • A future Torsion Sway Bar upgrade will be available, enhancing your vehicle's handling even further.
  • Bump Stop Drops: Protect shocks from over-compression.
  • Adjustable Track Bar: Centers the front axle for improved handling.
  • Stainless Brake Lines: Ensure proper braking performance with enough length for increased travel.
  • Caster Shims: Tighten steering responsiveness.

Rear Suspension Customization:

• Leaf Spring Options:
  • The rear can be outfitted with a Full Progressive Spring Pack (reducing load capacity to a “light” ¾-ton) or a Progressive Add-a-Pack that maintains payload capacity while pairing with a Carli Fabricated 2” block.

• F250 vs. F350 Considerations:
  • The F250 uses a lighter rate spring pack (2 main leaves), while the F350 features a stiffer setup (3 main leaves).
  • The F250 Add-A-Pack provides a significant upgrade over stock, while the F350 Add-A-Pack may remain stiff unless loaded.

• Capacity Solutions:
  • We recommend the Full Replacement Leaf Spring Packs for both trucks, especially for the F350, which tends to have very stiff factory springs.
  • For those concerned about capacity, the Full Progressive Leaf Springs can be supplemented with Long-Travel Airbags to restore factory capacities for SRW F350 models.
  • The Full Progressive Leaf Spring Pack shifts the axle slightly forward, allowing for maximum tire clearance with 37” M/T tires at full compression.
