Also as a note to be added for the CST 7" 4WD lift.
Oil change. I did my first oil change since the kit, and found out the differential skid plate that CST includes with there kit has to be removed. The skid plate attaches with four bolts/washers thru the bottom and washers/nuts on top. So you need a wrench, and a ratchet/air gun/cordless for each bolt. Complete pain in the wazoo. (this is to drain the oil...I'm not talking about the filter)
So I tack welded the bolts to the brackets on the subframe thru the top pointing down instead. They stick down maybe an extra 1/2" which isn't to big of deal I suppose. At least when I do an oil change it won't be so stupid, and mickey mousing around with that skid.
Just another note as to what to expect with the CST kit.
i am new to this forum gig. but thought i would share a few pictures of our class 8 titan with you. it seems you have a good base of product knowledge and might appreciate the long hours and hard work it took to get this truck to this stage of completion. 4 link rear, arms by blitzkrieg and rear end from desert specialties, camburg a arms, sway away coils and by passes, 2" 4130 cage, fuel safe cell, on and on. ran in the MINT 400 last week end.
this truck rocked.
greg,
want to know if you could adjust my camburg 2.5 coils, my truck sits level now but i want the front up a bit higher (1/2") I know it will take some of the travel out..but im mostly on the freeway. Im in anaheim,ca. camburg is always busy and they dont have a spanner to loan me. Do you like their stuff? made my truck ride so much better.
I personnally havent installed one of thier kits yet, but I am good friends with an engineer over there, and the kits look very nice. The kit is very similar to the other kits but it uses a cv spacer like most chevy kits and the front end sits about 1" wider per side than the other 4wd kits. It is also pretty expensive compared to the others.
An update on Procomp. They just did a price restructure and have raised the min. advertised price to around $1500 for the stage one kit. And thier wholesale pricing went up about 15%. So you should be able to buy the kits around $1475-1500 where they used to be around $1300ish.
I was interested in maybe in the future installing some coilovers on my 7" CST lift. Are the only options Fox? All I can find is around $1200.
