Well everyone!...

Since I finally made progress on my current Tremor I figured I'd make a build page lol.

A little background, this is my second SD Tremor. My first, purchased Dec 23/2020.

Spec;
20 F350 Lariat
6.7 Diesel
Magnetic Grey
Sport appearance pkg
Lariat ultimate pkg

Sold both in June 2022 to buy my very first custom ordered truck ever! Was a little bitter sweet as I absolutely loved both trucks, but with a slight career change and family growing it was hard keeping both trucks, let alone using both often.

Specs;
22 F350 Lariat
6.7 Diesel
Iconic Silver over Carbonized Grey
Lariat ultimate pkg
Tremor pkg
etc..

I'll post more below

You had the best world with those two trucks but guess what!? Now you have the best truck with the best of two worlds! The Double Deuce Club and the FTSDOG family! Yes! It's true.

Congratulations my Canadian friend! What a great day, eh?

So a little one month follow up for everyone!

After a month of ownership of the Carli Signature Series suspension, Here is my take away from dailying the truck and driving down fire roads.

And I'll start with the Carli sway bar lol, since @Optimus was asking about this.

First off, let me say that this is just my opinion, and everyone will experience these systems differently.

The Carli sway bar is without a doubt, the real deal. I drove my truck with and without the stock sway bar prior to installing the Carli sway bar to compare. You can easily see the difference, it helps the truck handle like a half ton while keeping composed vs no sway bar, where you'd really feel the truck lean in the corners. I kind of wish Carli made stock length end links for those who don't want to level their trucks.

The Carli Signature Series system softens up the whole truck by about 50%, I think. I'm not completely convinced that the system is THAT soft, it's just more noticeable and not as jarring as previously. But, paired with the Carli rear shackles helps softens the rear even more vs stock. Plus having 37s at 50 psig, 400lbs of weight in the box, all contribute to a more enjoyable experience.

On lease roads the truck handles wayyyy better! Maybe it's 37s, or plus shackles? But I had less wheel hop than I experienced in stock form. That alone made me happy as it helps with getting to locations where I fly fish often.

Overall thoughts,

I'm extremely happy with how I've set the truck up, even if this package is more marketed towards pavement. I'm glad I can now simply just change shocks if I want to push the truck harder and nothing else is needed.

I will say this though, after watching CJC's review of the base system and riding in my truck I feel they over sell the whole system as just a soft riding package for on the street.
