Not sure I'd let the calipers dangle like that...

I watched the mechanic and he set them very carefully, thanks for noticing.

I like how he zip tied the driveshaft for the transfer case out of the way. I'll have to use that trick on the next lift I install.

Critics will always have something to say, mostly negative unless you follow their advice and most of the time they have absolutely no experience other than he said she said. Go with what you know. Hopefully, you know that going higher than 2” “always” affects the geometry of your suspension in a negative way, diff drops are cheap to do and help tremendously. New Knuckles will widen your track. I highly recommend CST Suspension systems. Little by little you’ll figure out what’s best for your own vehicle. Good Luck! emoji106.pngemoji2532.png


Thanks! I have decided not to go with the fabtech and now am looking into the BDS and CST kits. Can coilovers be added to the CST?

CST offers coilovers as an option for the 4 1/2" kit, regular extended and full rezi.

I have the stage 1 kit sitting in my garage, just haven't installed it yet. I ran there 4" kit on my NNBS, quality lifts.

You’re correct, and better go have it installed, I’m sure you’ll very much enjoy it. Im actually leaning towards the CST coil over for the 4.5” too. Either way I’m sure I’ll have to wait a few weeks from CST hopefully not.

If I decide to install it, I'll be doing it myself at a friends garage that has a hoist. I'm still debating it, kind of enjoying the leveled life right now. maybe yours will sway me with lots of pics.

Call performance lifts, they have the 4 1/2" CST coilovers in stock. I plan to get those and sell my Fox 2.0's if I install this kit.

I've seen your truck when going thru this thread, looks great. It is a quality kit, and like the 4" kit  I had on my 2013 Sierra doesn't increase track width..

I bought the Stage 1 kit back in July when I bought my 2018. I was planning to install it this Winter when my work season slows down. I'm still not 100% I will install it or sell it. 

Do you have the Fox 2.0's and have them at lowest setting  ? I have the Fox 2.0'S on my truck now and if I install the CST kit I'll probably sell them and get the 4 1/2" CST coilovers to eliminate the spacer. I never cared for that spacer on my 4" CST kit I had on my 2013 Sierra.

Just about done, went ahead and started fresh with new Bilstein 5100’s again up front just for experimental purposes and new extended 5100’s in the rear for the CST 3” block. Talk about build in progress. Couldn’t get away from meetings today, picking it up mañana!

Where’s the best dea on the CST 4.5 stage one kit ? I just bought a 2018 Silverado and think I wanna go that route due to not increasing track width.

I have the fox 2.0’s not exactly sure what they are set too. Don’t think they are the same as bilstein to adjust like that. Sorry about that

Cant wait to see it. Strongly considering this lift and squeezing some 35s. Love that it doesn't increase track width

    • Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.  
    • No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.      
    • Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.
    • I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
