Great video and explanations. I want this kit (or dominator short arm) on my 3gen, but shipping to Norway and taxes that include tax on the shipping cost as well, makes it a bit hard to justify.

Beautiful truck, i still love the 03-05 headlight trucks

Can’t wait to find my own grandpa rig and convert it to my dream camping rig!

This is the exact set up I want for my 03 3500! Excited to see something similar.

I love all the detail you’re giving in your videos recently. Keep it up it’s so informative.

I had a 03 6spd QCSB Atlantic Blue Ram! This video made me want it back

Wow what a difference great build

You sir absolutely have the best builds this truck was degrampafied 💯 % keep doing what your doing. CJC and Carli are the best in my opinion.

Love it! I really miss my 05' 3500 5.9!

Great looking truck. I wish I had the extra funds to do this to my 06'.

Looks amazing

Dream build right there

Clean truck, wow!

Good looking truck!

That blue is gorgeous

Very nice truck and video !!

Amazing.. 👏👏👏👏

Those old school wheels with the big 37 would look so killer.

Always been partial to those headlights over the later years. No off roader, but I had a 2004 Laramie quad cab 2WD 1500 Sport in flame red as the first new vehicle I bought after college. Put a Hotchkis TVS kit on it and it was just a wonderful truck. One wheel bearing in 80,000 miles was the only repair it ever had.

Perfect

My very first Cummins was the same year and color as this one, just a 3500. Makes me happy to see one again. Just be careful with the tranny, can’t handle a ton of power without serious modifications

I’m a Chevy fan boy but damn that truck looks good.

If I knew you were wanting to put this kit on an 03 I would have drove mine to So Cal.

Really considering bringing 2003 Ram 3500 duelly to your shop, currently running a ruff country 5" lift, and I'm really wanting a Carli setup, 37s would be nice!!!

Clean 🧼

Sometimes I am tempted to convert my 2006 Megacab to have the older style headlights. It would make it a little more unique but there are so many other parts I rather spend my money on first.

@CJCOffRoad oh, I thought I had to get all of that stuff to lift the truck. I need to learn a lot more about this truck. I'll watch more of yalls videos. Thank you.

The bad country is really an awesome kit For the price There is nothing better!!Believe me my 💯🐓💪 6" kit... Extremely smooth especially in LA freeways and fire roads. Cant wait to upgrade . Dominator or unchained?🤤

@CJCOffRoad

For your truck we'd say Dominator! It gives a better on road ride than the unchained, but still packs TONS of off road capability!

Nice! Very similar to my 2002 1500 Quad Cab….. that was lifted off my driveway in 2006….. I wish I had beaten you to the punch! If it goes back on the market….. plz advise……. Very cool… Rick….. NM

what do you recommend to get a better ride and 4-inch lift on an old 87 chevy square body

Can you run stock 17” wheels with 37s with this?

Random question, but how tall is the truck to the top of the cab with this setup? I want to know if I would be able to fit my 3rd gen in the garage if I went with this setup.

@CJCOffRoad

It's a hair over 7 feet with this setup and 37s!

Do you have kits to reverse level a 3rd gen?

Is that a crack at 8:05 on what looks to be the upper ball joint mount or an optical illusion? 3" of lift with 37's is the best real world setup for a full size truck.

hi CJC! i have a 2013 but also with the Carli Backcountry. However, i continue to run through ball joints (moog heavy duty). I run AEV wheels and Falken 37". What ball joint did you put in this truck? I am getting read to trash the moogs and deciding to go with something else.

Moogs just don't hold up under these trucks! We used Carli ball joints on this one, but here's a video comparing our top 3 picks: kzread.info/dash/bejne/nq1kzLyiipawps4.html

Copy that sir. Was afraid of that but like you said in the video on ball joints; even if a lifetime warranty I am doing constant maintenance. The Carli isn’t available for the next three months from what I am learning so it looks like I am semi forced into the dynatrac. Which isn’t terrible as it sounded from your review still a great choice for my long term build. Thanks for all the help!!

What's the biggest difference between back country and dominator? The dominator is twice as expensive.

@CJCOffRoad

2 жыл бұрын

The Backcountry uses a Fox 2.0 reservoir shock while the Dominator used a King 3.0. That's an extra inch of shock body diameter, which translates to more damping force, more fluid volume, and really more capability off road. The Backcountry will be slightly smoother on the street, but the Dominator is capable of hitting whoops at 60 miles an hour or jumping your truck. It all depends on what your end goal is! If you plan to just do normal truck usage and cruise down fire roads, the Backcountry is perfect.

Don't worry, 10-12 uses a different shock and tune than 03-09 so your shocks didn't end up on this truck. We have both 03-09 and 10-12 Carli backcountry shocks in stock too!

Nothing better than ripping the lame old man stuff off these trucks
