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

Here is my submission to this thread. Its my 2016 GMC All/Terrain 4x4 6.5" Zone with AAL, 35.4" Duratracs on stock 20" Denali wheels.

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 decided to go with CST full adjustable coil overs. Their amazing quality is out of this world but 100% made in The USA [emoji6]and will only compliment my awesome CST lift [emoji631] Thanks for the input!

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

Awesome craftsmanship, second to none

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.

      Gas fill door

      By newdude · Posted

      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.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      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.

      Active Grille Delete

      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.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      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?
