I've searched and called and still haven't found the answer. How tall is a Tremor with the Carli 2.5/3.5 backcountry kit on 37s? I need a level placed across the highest point (black plastic antennas on the rear of the roof) and a measurement to the ground. I'd like to ask very specifically for a truck with this Carli 2.5/3.5 backcountry kit, including the full progressive rear springs, with 37x12.5x18 ridgegrapplers on 18x9 +18 wheels (method nv 305 hd preferably). I need to know for sure what this measurement is before I pull the trigger...I have been told 84" - 87"...need real data. Your help is greatly appreciated!!
 
I have a 1.5 inch block with my progressive leafs so the truck might end up being a little higher than just a leveled Carli. I couldnt stand the look the perfect leveled truck, had to bring back at least some rake.

Edit: Mine is 85.5 measured precisely with a level.

My stock Tremor measures 83.5”. So that would mean the Carli setup you have lifts the Tremor by 2”? I’m thinking of the backcountry setup as well but contemplating 5.5” height.
 
I just went thru this. The 2.5/3.5 says on carli site it adds 1.5" to the tremor. Duratrac vs Wildpeak is 1.5" difference. So combined you should be just about 3"over stock. 1.5" in the rear roughly from tires and 3" roughly in the front (lift+tires). I was worried about clearance in my garage. I had the backcountry on my 2013 f250 and honestly, the tremor i think rides very similar. I just put 37s on 18x9 +18 methods (Wildpeak) and to my surprise zero rub so I stopped there. I was going to get a Carli Commuter or Backcountry again if I did have a rub issue.

Your 37 Wildpeaks add .75 inches of height not 1.5 inches.

Yes, with 37s its roughly 2 inches total on top of Tremor OEM height.

Go for 5.5, i dont think you will regret it. I often wish i went with 5.5, but a shorter wife and newborn made me settle for a baby level😉

The diameter of the 37” Wildpeaks is 1.5” wider than the stock duratrac. 35.1” vs 36.6” There will be compression with both on the vehicle. I just went on tire measurements, not mounted height.

With 37” Wildpeaks on 18x9 wheels I am right at 84” with a level on the plastic antenna on the rear. Only .5” over your stock whomever posted 83.5” stock.

It’s worth noting that my brother has the same year 2020 f250 temor as I do. His had about .5-.75 more rake. They’re not all exactly the same.

I placed a level across the black antennas on the back of the cab and I get 82" on the money to the bottom of the level. This is bone stock except for the 60 gal s&b tank. I have the opportunity to get a 4.5/5.5 kit from a guy that never installed it. Carli states that's 3.5" lift on a Tremor...that puts me over 7 feet...need to stay under 7 feet. The 2.5/3.5 Carli states lifts a Tremor 1.5" which gets me close to 7 feet...add 37s and I'm right at that 7' mark...

Decisions, decisions....gotta figure it out and pull the trigger. Stay stock on 37s, or get one of these 2.5/3.5 kits.

You don’t get the full 1.5” of tire height added to your overall height, you get exactly half of it, below the axle.
 
I have the 5.5” eventure with a 1.5 inch block in the rear. The only measurement I have taken is to the top of the tailgate, I am at 65” there, I can measure to the roof tomorrow.

Please do, i’m curious where you are with 5’5” and 1.5 rear block at the peak.

Thats badass! Looks like the black antennas are still the highest point...is that correct? What tire/wheel sizes are you running? Thank you!
 
here’s a better pic. The drive is sloped some - same factory rake.

Sweet looking truck!!! So it looks like the factory mud flaps would rub in the front....thoughts?
Just a guess but probably? I am no help there. Stock wheels 37s rub. +18 w/o mudflats they don’t. If I flex much they may. As my buddy that owns a tire shop says, if you’re not running a little, you need bigger tires.
 
So a stock Tremor is 83.5 + 1.5” E Venture lift = 85” or 7’1” on stock tires and if I go to 37” tires gain an additional .75” for 85.75” rounded up to 86” or 7’2”

Keeps me from dragging the wife and a ladder out to measure things
