Carli 2014–2024 Ram 2500 Hemi-Spec 2.0-Inch IFP Front and Rear Shock Package — 2.5-Inch Lift
The Carli Hemi-Spec 2.0-inch IFP shock package for 2014–2024 Ram 2500 is Carli's shock system specifically tuned for the 6.4L Hemi gas engine variant of the current-generation Ram heavy-duty truck. The Hemi-Spec designation is the critical detail: the 6.4L Hemi puts meaningfully less weight over the front axle than the 6.7L Cummins diesel. Using diesel-spec shocks on a Hemi-powered Ram 2500 results in an over-damped, harsh front suspension that does not match the actual weight it is controlling. Carli's Hemi-Spec shocks use valving calibrated for the Hemi's front-end weight — the correct approach for this truck.
The IFP design — Internal Floating Piston — separates the shock's nitrogen charge from the damping oil using a piston that floats freely inside the body. This eliminates the aeration and cavitation that degrades conventional twin-tube shocks during sustained hard use, providing more consistent damping without the complexity of external reservoir hoses and mounting hardware. For Ram 2500 Hemi owners who want a significant shock upgrade without the installation complexity of a reservoir shock, the IFP Hemi-Spec package is the right specification.
Fitment
The Hemi-Spec IFP shock package fits 2014–2024 Ram 2500 with the 6.4L Hemi gasoline engine (4x4, all trims and cab configurations). Includes front and rear shocks. Designed for 2.5 inches of front lift paired with a Carli leveling system. These shocks are not correct for the 6.7L Cummins diesel variant — the diesel-spec shocks are the appropriate choice for Cummins-powered Ram 2500 trucks.
Carli's Hemi-Specific Tuning
Carli develops separate shock specifications for diesel and gas Ram HD variants because the front-end weight difference is significant enough to require different valving for correct suspension behavior. The Hemi-Spec shocks are tuned for the 6.4L Hemi's weight — controlling the front suspension correctly under that specific load rather than using a compromise calibration that serves neither the diesel nor the gas application optimally. For Ram 2500 Hemi owners, this specificity translates to a suspension that responds correctly to braking, impacts, and cornering inputs on a truck with the actual weight of a Hemi-powered Ram.
Installation and Pairing
The Hemi-Spec IFP shocks install in the factory mounting locations on the 2014–2024 Ram 2500. No external reservoir mounting hardware is required. A front-end alignment is required after installation if the front ride height changes. Install alongside a Carli leveling system for a matched, complete front suspension upgrade. Estimated installation time at a shop with a lift is two to three hours for the full front and rear set. Torque all hardware to Carli's specifications and verify clearance at all suspension extremes before returning the truck to service.
The Ram 2500 Hemi as a Serious Truck Platform
The 6.4L Hemi Ram 2500 is a capable and underappreciated truck platform. With the correct suspension hardware, it can be a genuinely excellent off-road and towing truck — quieter than a diesel, more tractable at low speed, and with significant torque available throughout the rev range. Carli's Hemi-Spec shock package is built for Ram 2500 Hemi owners who take their trucks seriously and want suspension hardware that matches the capability of the rest of the build. The correct shock specification for the correct engine — that is what Carli's Hemi-Spec designation delivers.
