2013-2025 Cummins Torsion Sway Bar w/ 0-4" Lift (CS-DTSB3-1419)

It's been well established that the OEM sway bar on these Cummins has little to no movement at all. A Carli states, people fail to look past the front coils and rear leaf springs when looking to "soften" the factory ride; the OEM sway bar is essentially a brace locking the axle to the frame. This can cause severe chatter or shaking felt within the entire truck.

This Torsion Sway Bar is the perfect upgrade for those looking to lighten the last spring on the truck, maximizing the ride quality, and providing a small amount of differentiation side to side before progressively engaging to add the needed control as leverage is applied, very reminiscent of an independent front suspension!

Part Number: CS-DTSB3-1419

• Now ships with Carli's High Clearance end link hardware, adding 1/4" of clearance so you can run stock wheels and tires with the sway bar
• Requires removal of the electronic sway bar on Power Wagons
  
• Compatible with zero to 4" lift
• Enhances ride quality by allowing front suspension to move freely without giving up control

This kit now ships with Carli's updated High Clearance end link hardware. It adds 1/4" of clearance over the original hardware (a Grade 8 bolt with two misalignment spacers), allowing Ram owners to run stock wheels and tires with the Carli Torsion Sway Bar.

High Clearance hardware:

How to identify the High Clearance hardware:

• A one-piece, low-profile stainless steel misalignment spacer installs on the inside of each sway bar link. It faces the sway bar on the upper side and the axle mount on the lower side.
• On the opposite side of the heim, you will find only the head of the 12-point bolt.
• The 12-point bolt and low-profile misalignment spacer are what set it apart from the original hardware.

Installing the hardware:

• Place the misalignment spacer on the INSIDE of the link. The sleeve portion of the spacer passes all the way through the heim joint and is visible on the opposite side.
• Slide the 12-point bolt into the sleeve from the opposite side until it is fully seated.
• Complete the assembly with the provided washers, reducer sleeves and nuts. The reducer sleeves go into the axle mount.
• Torque the assembly to 60 lb-ft.

Like any other spring native to a stock RAM HD, the factory Sway Bar is nearly immobile. Conversely, it’s the most neglected spring on the vehicle as people fail to look past the front coils and rear springs when looking to “soften” the factory ride. Well, the factory sway bar is essentially a brace locking the axle to the frame. What does this mean? What you hit with one tire is immediately transferred to the other tire and into the frame causing a high frequency reverberation/chatter felt in the cab. If you’ve ever hit a manhole cover on the driver’s side tire and felt a shake in the entire truck or you’ve ever entered an off-camber driveway and smacked your head on the window – you can thank the factory sway bar. Truth be told, it’s responsible for many of the small-bump compliance gripes thanks to immobility.

So where does the factory sway bar come in? These trucks are heavy pigs… Even being radius arms (MUCH better for sway control than a 4-Link), a bit of supporting spring rate plays a substantial roll in keeping the body roll in check and suspension composed. The Factory sway bar is setup to load the truck to it’s MAX legal weight and haul it safely – for this application, there’s no better bar. Throw a 3,500 pound cab-over camper in the bed and hit some remote mountain roads en-route to your destination and it all starts to make sense why Ford did what they did.

For everyone that’s not loaded to the GVWR daily, the Carli Torsion Sway Bar provides the final link lightening the last spring on the truck maximizing the ride quality of the RAM HD Platform. Keeping your factory bar limits comfort, removing it completely makes for questionable control when hauling or emergency maneuvering. After several revisions and years in development, the Carli Torsion Sway Bar Splits the Difference perfectly allowing a small amount of differentiation side to side before progressively engaging to add the needed control as leverage is applied. Rip corners in the dirt with surgical precision knowing there’s exactly enough rate to hold the body steady while cutting your line through the dirt. Hit the tarmac and enjoy the benefit of the lighter rate bar cruising around town with it’s on-road feel reminiscent of an independent front suspension – no more chassis reverberation on small bumps and let the suspension dance in the level cab while hitting off-camber driveways.

The arms are constructed of doubled and welded 3/8″ cold-rolled steel – 3/4″ thick at clamp area. The arms are locked to the bar by our in-house machined 17-4 stainless preload washers and Grade 8 pinch Bolts. The bar itself is a custom rate, heat treated torsion bar passing through fabricated brackets that house our extreme duty, service free bushings. Finishing off the assembly are Sway Bar End Links featuring legendary FK Bearing 5/8″ Heat-Treated, Chromoly Race Heims.

This bar is designed to work with 0-4″ lift systems. In typical Carli fashion, there are no disconnects on the end links nor multiple holes in the bar to change the leverage applied. This bar is refined to work in conjunction with our custom tuned suspensions to throw an exponent on the ride quality. The rate is set, the bar will not hinder articulation justifying a disconnect. The Rate is the perfect balance splitting control and comfort – install and enjoy!
