I just saw a member over on Silverado Sierra forums just got the CST kit thru Autoanything for around $1500.00. I bought my CST4" kit from Performance Lifts also. 
Great customer service from them, answered any questions quickly. When I did mine I went with the Bilstein adj. struts up front and the Bilstein rear shocks.
If I end up keeping this truck I will be upgrading to the CST coil overs made for the new kit.
Here is a picture of my 2013 GMC with the CST 4" set at 4 1/2" . You should be real happy with the CST kit, they are definitely top quality.

Truck looks awesome! Thanks for the info. I wish I had looked at auto anything but I didn't think of it. It's only $100 so I'll live hahaha.

What makes that lift be able to run stock wheels over other lifts ? How is the ride quality ? Would buy again? Truck looks great if that’s your black truck

I went with 4.5” CST suspension lift with cognito upper control arms and I have my stock duratrac 18’s on. any questions you have about my lift I will be happy to let you know anything you need!! Con

Skyjacker is 1600, zone is 1100, ready lift is 1000. 1800 doesn't seem cheap especially since it doesn't come with rear shocks. It does look well made though. What other lifts did you consider? Sent

I was just looking at your pics again, why does it look like you are still running cst spacers on your fox coil overs? I thought the longer coil overs would eliminate the spacers?

Yea I figured that. Just thinking if I get coil overs it would be nice to get them long enough to get rid of the spacers.

Sorry it took so long to reply! But what jimmyboy said, they are factory series coilovers so they were just replacements of the crappy stock coilovers.

What is the height of your truck at the XM Antenna? I would like a lift, but would also like to continue to park in my garage. TIA!
