Removing 7" CST

rynomx785 · 04-15-2008, 03:57 PM

I am planning on buying the mid travel kit and currently have a 7" CST kit. I want to remove the bracket lift even though I know it will work with it cuz I dont want it that high. When Greg installed the lift I know there was some cutting and grinding. Has anyone gone back to stock or know how difficult it would be?

It should be easy. The CST page says you can go back to stock. I dont think the cutting does anything to change that.

Ryno I would have thought you would have came to me about this since well i no longer have the cst kit on mine

It wasn't hard at all to go back to stock at all. Did buy a new crossmember or whatever piece it is that was cut when we added the cst kit though. Didn't have to but just wanted to and the guys doing my fabrication wanted to as well. Other than that it was pretty simple.

When you getting the MT kit?!

I forgot all about you homie! lol How much was the piece you repalced?

Not sure on the time frame. I think clayton is gonna buy my lift. I gotta figure out what spindles I need though.

The piece that was replaced was about a $100 cuz a friend works at pinnacle nissan. Could prolly get you the same deal.

If clayton gets it tell him to not run off any cliffs or wreck his titan like he always does ha.

Wonder what spindles you would use as well.. hmm.. Greg would be able to answer for you. We are actually using modified CST spindles instead of making some. They are actually turning pretty sweet. Provide the right amount of lift too after they were chopped down

HAHA ill let him know. I was hoping that i wouldnt need the spindles from the lift cuz i was tryin to sell it for $1000. I need to talk to Greg! lol

rynomx785 · 04-15-2008, 04:34 PM

Same coils until i can afford the shock hoop. Different UCA's however Im using the heim joints and uniball from the ones i have. Greg said he would give me some trade in on the old ones.

pecora55 · 04-15-2008, 04:53 PM

go with some Pro Comp spindles from the 6" lift they have. you can just order the spindles for 499 bucks i think. that way you can sell your CST kit as a whole...

*edit* Pro Comp spindles sell for 467 bucks + shipping...

pecora55 · 04-17-2008, 10:01 PM

Pay the extra and go with the CST spindles ryan

they are 400 a piece i believe. Ill make sure you see some pics of mine when its all said and done.
