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 bought mine from Performance Lifts. mainly because I bought my last lift there for my 2013 and they have great customer support. New Level motorsports has it a little cheaper then Performance, I think they are around $1650. for the stage 1 kit.

Did the BDS 6" with Fox shocks. 22x12 Sprockets on 33" Toyo MT's. Rides like stock, no rub no trimming.

Crappy pic, but this was right after it pulled out of the garage last night. 4.5 zone with fox in the rear, 35x12.50r20 nitto ridge grapplers on stock elevation rims. Ride seems better then stock, i

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

I’ll post a bunch of pics once it’s all cleaned up and can compare the before shot

To the new shot....

Pic coming soon [emoji13]

I’m also looking at keeping the same Nitto Ridge Grapplers 285/60/20’s (33.7’s) but may go up to the 285/65/20’s cause I want to have less drag from the tires width wise but a bit more height for a softer ride, I don’t know [emoji1745]‍[emoji3603]

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


2015 Silverado LT Midnight Edition
4.5” CST suspension lift

The Fox 2.0's adjust with a spanner wrench, mine are at 2" because I was just leveling my truck when I installed them. Yours most likely are at "0" otherwise you would have gained an extra two inches of height over the 4 1/2" CST spacer.

One thing is for certain, (and I know lifts, had many of them) it seems to be a much heavier duty and very thick steel, highest quality paint job I’ve ever seen from any manufacturers suspension components. Very impressed!

That’s not including rear shocks for the 3”-5” lifted applications.

Ok, how’s the ride quality of your Kings, stiffer, mushy?

Best money I ever spent on a suspension. Feels like a Cadillac. Both front and rear are adjustable so I can make it stiff or mushy. I’m set in the middle with no complaints.

I’ve heard great things about King suspension. First I was looking Fox, then did the CST lift so naturally just about jumped on those but I’ve heard such great things about King suspension and now you, lol. I’m interested to know which stock# for the 4.5” lift would work as well as the rear which currently running 3” blocks, looking at going 4” just cause it’s perfectly level but I like a slight rake up front. Do you know your model #’s?

Just wanted to ask if you have the lane keep option on your Sierra?  Came on my LTZ with the forward collision alert. Just wondered if  any problems with the lane keep after installing the CST kit.

Great question, No issues at all. Well, maybe, constant desire to do more upgrades lol. In all seriousness, absolutely ZERO problems, as far as mods on my truck, best decision I made was the CST lift.

 

In the constant desire to do more, these just arrived

If you do end up doing the CST lift, get the Stage 1, this way you can do whatever shocks and struts you want and when and if you want to add CST coilovers like me, you’ll have the CST upper coilover, strut and spacer assembly as backup or spares.

      on-wheel cellphone control: 2026 1500 WT (2.7L 4WD std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      I have a basic 2026 1500 WT  (2.7L/4WD reg cab shorttbed). Comfy, generally happy with electronics/radio - but is there a way I can add switches to steering wheel right-side position (curr. empty) so I can adjust volume, push phone button to voice dial, etc? Bill W San Jose

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.

      "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
