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.

Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving, I've  had the Stage 1 kit sitting in my shop since July, week after I bought the truck. Had planned to install it this Winter when work slowed up. I'll be ordering those same coilovers when I'm ready to install it.

Happy Thanksgiving to you too. The best thing about this CST lift is once you add the these 4.5” specific coil overs, you can dial them up a bit too, (if desired) which will raise easily. Next week is the install, update afterwards. Be safe

What do I need to measure on my 2015 Silverado 1500 to see how much lift it has. I just bought the truck and not sure of the lift. It has RC parts on it. I measured the blocks in the rear and they measure 6” does that mean it’s a 6” lift.

Measure from the bottom bolt on the front cross member to the top bolt of the front cross member and that will give you the size of the kit.

50k miles and I just installed new UCA's -- my ball joints were shot. I'm pretty certain it was the long miles with level kit and E-Rated tires that chewed them up.

I didn’t have a lot of choice or time—it was day before Christmas. I needed to take my truck on a long distance trip.

If I recall the UCA were made by Precision (OEM). I will consider aftermarket next time I need them. I was just surprised that they were already toast.

Truck hit 50k miles; lift has only about 8k miles on it. Before that it was level kit and E-rated 275’s.

Threw a 2” RC level on dads truck for Christmas. Still need to get another 1/2 inch inch on the front to get that true level, guess I know what I’ll get for his birthday [emoji2957]

Side by side with my 6” BDS. Love em both.
