Flatbeds on RAM's don't have to be high. It is mostly for looks. This is my install of a ProTech flatbed. I wanted it low a possible for the ATC camper. There is plenty of clearance for the 34" tires.
Lets see some full size pictures...

If I could get it that low and still clear 37's I would.

The wind deflector is pretty close. Does it ever hit when your twisting around off highway? Great job.
It ended up closer than I designed, but never touched. Fuel mileage didn't change, but the wind noise was greatly reduced. The campers gone, truck going in a few weeks. Jeep gone. Heading for a new combination. 2021 RAM 2500 CC short bed, Carli pintop, 35" tires, Carivan Journey canopy. Will post up in a few years when all the back-ordered parts come in.

Caravan's are beasts. They'll outlive cockroaches after the H-bomb is dropped. Fantastic construction quality.
How much of the Carli kit did you get? Control arms? Sway bar? Rear springs? How was the ride after changes?
I don't need the carry capacity anymore, but still need a lot more than a 1/2T for towing. So, the 2500 with full coil springs and full linkage should be a huge improvement over the rear leafs that I have now. When the front hits a bump, I find myself bracing for the rear axle hit, even if I'm in a car.
After seeing your pictures, I'm getting some fender flares and big mud flaps.

right now its sitting on Carli 3.25 coils front and Carli add a packs rear with CJC off-road floating Firestone airbags with the Carli commuter shock package (fox 2.0) waiting on kings, swayer, and radius arms .... everything has been back ordered
running empty I wouldn't say the add a packs helped the ride much but the front springs did wonders.
I have 1,200 pounds in the bed almost always rides like a dream.
