  1. I think your pretty much limited to a bracket kit if you don't want a track width increase. I know the RC 5" bracket kit is a cheaper option to the CST kit, if you don't mind the additional 1/2".
  2. I found the small dings in my front passenger upper fender. Figured out I was causing them while washing the truck. Standing on a step ladder leaning against the fender with my cellphone in my pocket. I had them removed by the dealerships PDR guy. Lesson learned, make sure your pockets are empty when leaning against the truck.
  3. I bought mine from Performance lifts, I see they want $1850.00 for it now. I don't think I payed quite that for it. I know some have purchased it from New Level for less. It's a high quality kit that keeps factory geometry, not an over stretched level like the RC 3.5". That kit does nothing to correct for the tie rods or lower ball joint angles and gives you a small diff drop that still puts the CVs on a pretty extreme angle. I just new I wasn't going to put a junk lift on a 60K truck.

  5. I did the CST 4 1/2" lift on mine, I went with there coilovers. You can use your stock struts with the the spacer provided with the kit. The CST is a bracket lift, which keeps your track width stock. Kit comes with everything needed other then rear shocks. I purchased the CST street series rear shocks and am happy with those. I think they were $200.00 for the pair. I also removed my overload spring and installed a Deaver J1 mini-pack with the factory block. Kit comes with 3" which I didn't use. That gave a very nice ride in the rear. Truck actually rides nicer now then it did stock. The lift is designed to run a 35" tire with a 5" backspace wheel. I'm running a 33x12.50/22 on a 22x10 -25 wheel with plenty of clearance.

  7. I haven't left the house since Friday. I did a little yard work today and heard very little traffic on the main road. I worked last week with just one other employee. We were working outside with distance between us for the most part. I'll most likely go ahead and work till they shut down everything. I'm not going into any stores or gas stations if I don't absolutely have to.
  8. I've got LED's in my reverse lamps, license plate, and cargo lamp from Vleds. Had them in my 2013 also, cant beat them for quality and output.
  9. Yeah the XD's are similar. Only thing I didn't like about the Hostiles was the outer lip. Wish they would have been smooth.
  10. Those are Hostile Havoks, and look to be 20x10's. I had those on my 2013 Sierra.
  11. Did you remove the chrome molding on your doors? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. That's going to be a tall SOB for a daily. You also realize that is a spacer lift, you will be using 8" strut spacers on top of your stock struts. Also keep in mind this lift will increase your front track width 1 1/2", so you will need to run rear spacers to line up front and rear. Not a bad thing since you plan to run your stock wheels, that will help with a wider stance. Your going to need that going that high. The truck pictured looks to be running a 12" wide wheel which is typically a -44 offset. With a wheel like that and 35" tires an 8" lift is required to clear them.
  13. You can run 35’s on the CST 4.5” with stock wheels. You may get a little rub on the sway bar due to the positive offset. But you would clear them otherwise. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. I'm think the Superlift is a better choice if your looking at 6.5" just due to the full 6.5" crossmember drop. I know a member on another forum running it on his 2018 Silverado and it is a quality lift. Personally I didn't want to go that high on a daily driver that I do work out of the back of. I went with the CST 4.5" bracket lift with the CST coilovers which actually gave me 5" of front lift. I preferred not to increase my front track width. I run a 20x10 -19 wheel and a 305/55/20 for my Summer setup. That gives a nice stance without running any rear spacers. I can also swap back to my factory 20" LTZ wheels for the Winter. Also the CST 4.5" was designed to run a 9" wheel with 5" backspacing to allow a 35" tire. I just preferred not to run a 35" tire and stay closer to a 33"- 34" tire. This is my 2018 with the CST 4.5".
  15. All your lifts with a crossmember drop have cutting involved to allow for the front differential to drop. But I do believe the Superlift is a full 6" drop crossmember, which would allow better angles. The Zone 6.5 " shares the same crossmember as there 4.5" kit. Zone just uses a longer strut for the 6.5" kit. So in reality the Zone 6.5" angles are similar to running a 2" level on your stock truck.
  16. Nice, I had those same wheels on my 2013 Sierra. Wish I would have kept them. Ended up buying the chrome 20x10 Hostile Rage wheels for my 2018. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  18. Thanks, it’s a 4 1/2” CST bracket lift with CST coil overs, rear is stock block and Deaver J1 mini pack leafs, CST street series shocks. Wheels are 20x10 -19 Hostile Rages with Nitto Ridge grapplers in 305/55/20. The Ridge Grapplers are the lighter version, 52 lbs. compared to the E versions 62 lbs. I wanted to keep my 6.2 performance. The ride is very nice and an improvement over stock. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. Your truck looks like a twin to mine, and I did the same vinyl wrap on mine. Is your truck also a Max tow? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. How much trimming did you have to do to run 20x12's?
