Another lifted Titan --gero's black se kingcab

[Mic]

First off, your truck is bad to the bone-nice work.
Second, what size/kind of rimsand tires are you running? They are real nice!
I bet you get some people moving out your way on the 405-oh ya!

Read a couple of posts earlier, he explains it.

You said the rear lift consisted of a 4" block and u-bolt kit. Do you also have to flip the rear springs? Or is it only a 4" block because the rear already sits higher than the front? Nice truck BTW, makes me want a 2wd, but need a 4wd so I'll have to wait for the 4wd lifts to come out.

[Sammy Sandbag]

It's only a 4" block lift. Which to me makes the front ever so slightly higher than the rear, which is the main reason I'm waiting for other lifts to come out. While I don't like the wedge effect, a drooping rear is worse IMHO.

So Sammy, I know RCD is working on a lift, but it won't be out for a year or so. What other companies do you know of that are working on lifts?

[Sammy Sandbag]

Rancho and Fabtech are both working on something that should be out by the Fall. I hadn't heard about RCD working on one till you said that, what do you know?

[SarkaZm]

Not much. I sent them an e-mail and they confirmed one in work, but that's about it.

RCD Lift....in work!

[Sammy Sandbag]

Interesting, I've always heard good things about RCD, plus they pair them with Bilstein shocks. Of course I'm looking for a 2wd lift, so the selection is usually limited, but seems to have really grown in the past couple years.

just fyi, you can also go with the deaver leaf kit instead...I didn't... but it is an option. I'm still really stoked about my titan and the cst lift.

w/ regard to the question re: rubbing... I do not experience any at all...even at full lock, my tires do not rub.

w/ regard to 37" tires... I went with the tires and rims that CST recommended. Remember guys, Max and I are a couple of the first guys to lift their Titans... I didn't want to take chances w/ the wrong tires. I think that I saw one w/ 37's on another forum... but I did not speak with its owner.

i can't say enough about this lift.. people still just stare at my truck as I drive by... and I've had it for months....and that's a long time in The OC ... especially w/ all of the new bentley's and modena's everywhere... I can't wait to drive through Utah on the way to Moab...

I'm a guy who has never really liked pickups and laughed at ones that were lifted...
But damn! That looks really really really good. Everyone else is right, it just looks bad*ss! Thats the only way to describe it.

But how much lift are those springs advertising? Obviously one could combine lift springs and blocks to get a leveled truck, but I'd rather wait and see what comes out in a 6" front lift with perhaps a 3" rear lift.

sammy,

i placed a carpenters level on my bed today... it is level. i parked on the foundation of one of our tilt-ups to ensure a level surface. maybe i'm confused.
if we're just talking about the cst lift, it creates a level lifted titan. if i park on a sloped surface, it's not level... but that's due to the sloped surface..

i've seen a couple of trucks on the forum that look as if the front is a bit higher... i thought that they had tweaked it that way on purpose... for that pre-runner look.

forgive me b/c i haven't read every post. i'll have to go back and determine the root of this discussion. my mention of the deaver spring was to let others know that they have 2 options for the rear lift .. deaver or the block...not both.

as to other lifts... right on! i test drove a titan w/ this lift... really liked it.. and had it installed on my titan... if you find something that suits you, you're stoked... i know that i'm stoked!

I totally agree with you gero. Unlike your truck mine is an extra inch higher in the front, which is barely anything, and that yours is completely level. For some reason the gap between the fender and tires make it seem like the front is higher when in reality it is level.

[Sammy Sandbag]

Whether it is actually level or not really isn't a big concern. I'm basing it off of the way it looks, which to me, I'd rather have it a little lower in the front. I still don't see how they manage to level it, as from the factory the truck doesn't sit 4" lower in the front (or does it?)

Sooo-weeet!
