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

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

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

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.

      Do you keep your tires at full capacity? 80psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Are you using a weight distribution hitch system with your trailer as that alone can change the actual tire pressure requirements needed. It would prove interesting to see what the actual individual axle weights are on your truck when you are hooked up to the trailer. In fact when your hooked to the trailer, typically if anything unless it has a large capacity weight distribution system that is over cranked, often the weight on the front axle will be less when hooked up vs driving empty and certainly if one doesn't have a weight distribution hitch. Really the only times one may get up there with weight on the steer axle is if there was a snow plow mounted on the front or a motorcycle on a rack or with a very large jockey tank full of fuel at the front of the box that transfers a bit of its weight to the front axle.    And of course your tires carry more weight for a given tire pressure due to their size vs a stock sized tire so there is that to take into the equation as well.

      New Member Just Bought a Vtrux

      Great info here thank you. I just joined, we have a 2014 Silverado truck we bought about 4 years ago with less than 5,000 miles on it. It has approximately 24,000 on it now. It appears to have all the standard issues that people are talking about. Occasional charging problems especially using 110 volt, occasional blinking triangle where nothing will turn on when first starting the truck but it will reset itself if you wait 10 to 15 minutes. Noisy coupler between the flywheel and the generator. Our truck is speed limited to 74 mph, is there any way to change that? The latest issue we have been dealing with is when driving long distance on the highway at full speed the generator does not keep the batteries charged. The meter will go into the yellow/red border Zone for charge status and the yellow triangle will illuminate solid but the generator will not keep the battery charged, not sure why the controller doesn't tell the gas engine to increase RPM to increase generator output it usually stays well below 25 kilowatts even though the battery is discharging and I have to slow down the highway to 45 mph and eventually pull over and let the truck idle to charge the battery so I can continue driving at speed. Has anyone had this issue before or have any idea how to diagnosed it? When via Motors was around it they were very helpful at troubleshooting. This becomes much if the Terrain is hilly and you're towing a small trailer

      Tonneau cover that does not leak water

      By Z45 · Posted

      I have the GMC accessory (REV) cover installed by dealer. Ordered with the truck.  They did a very good install job, can't find a single issue. Some water gets in around the tailgate but no where else.  You can see daylight around the tailgate but that's not the covers fault.  Installation is means everything. Guys at my dealer were seasoned pros, not inexperienced here today good tomorrow types, like many dealers employ for these jobs.   I don't mind paying for a professional job.

      Like others have said, they will all leak. Mainly at the corners.   I have owned several and the best has been my current one. Revolver x4

      LCA bolts

      By calgator73 · Posted

      About 8 months after an alignment job by the dealer I started experiencing a pretty significant clunk in the front end on hard left hand turns usually parking lot speeds almost at lock.  Occasionally get the same on hard rights too.   Discovered that the lower control arm attachment bolts are TTY and only to be used for a single use. And then I found some evidence of a TSB that indicates you can over torque those fasteners to about 130 foot pounds.   Asked a local shop to investigate and they found 3 out of four bolts loose and retorqued.   I've ordered the MOOG    K100421 lower control arm bolt kit that is completely reusable and not TTY.    Is the 80 ft pounds a realistic number?  Anyone have experience with those bolts?
