Key Features of the Pathfinder System:

• Exceptional Ride Quality:
  • The Pathfinder delivers a controlled and predictable ride for light to moderate off-road use, making it perfect for daily drives. It absorbs small to medium imperfections effortlessly, providing a plush and comfortable driving experience.
  • While it may not match the Pintop’s high-speed off-road prowess, it shines on the road, allowing you to enjoy every journey without the need for aggressive driving.

• Premium Shock Design:
  • Equipped with Carli-SPEC 2.5” aluminum-bodied shocks, finished with a hard-anodized coating for superior corrosion and scratch resistance.
  • Features a significant boost in oil volume—55% more piston surface area than traditional 2.0” shocks—improving heat management and extending rebuild intervals.
  • Filled with high-performance red shock oil designed to resist heat and fade, ensuring consistent damping and long-term reliability.

• Stylish Aesthetic:
  • All billet components are black-anodized, giving you a sleek, premium look right out of the box—an upgrade that previously cost customers over $1,200 on our King kits!

Enhanced Performance Features:

• Increased Ride Height:
  • The Pathfinder system raises your truck 5.5” in the front, enhancing ground clearance and wheel travel with taller, Progressive Rate Coil Springs.

• Optimized Front Geometry:
  • Radius Arm Drop Brackets reset the pivot point, maintaining linear travel for the best ride possible.
  • Adjustable Track Bar centers the front axle, while Stainless Brake Lines ensure proper braking performance with increased travel.
  • Bump Stop Drops protect the shocks from over-compression, and Caster Shims tighten steering for improved handling.

• Sway Bar Enhancements:
  • Address front sway bar geometry with your choice of a Sway Bar Drop Bracket & Carli Extended Sway Bar End Link combination or upgrade to our full replacement Torsion Sway Bar for a more compliant feel and increased articulation with minimal body roll.

Rear Suspension Options:

• Leaf Spring Configurations:
  • Choose between a Full Progressive Spring Pack (reducing capacity to a “light” ¾-ton) or a Progressive Add-a-Pack that eliminates the factory block while maintaining payload capacity.

• F250 and F350 Compatibility:
  • Since 2008, F250 and F350 trucks have different spring packs; the F250 features a lighter rate pack (2 main leaves) compared to the F350 (3 main leaves).
  • For F350 models, we recommend the Full Replacement Leaf Spring Packs for optimal performance. If you own an F250 built with the Tremor or high-capacity tow package, avoid the add-a-pack as it may not perform well.

• Airbag System Integration:
  • If capacity is a concern, consider an aftermarket airbag system to complement the Full Progressive Leaf Springs, allowing for disconnection during suspension cycling to maximize rear travel.
  • The Full Progressive Leaf Spring Pack will shift the axle slightly forward for maximum tire clearance with 37” M/T tires at full compression.
