CST Performance Suspension 6-8" lift kit for 1999-2006 4wd Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks. CST has always been a strong supporter of General Motors products. As usual, CST spared no expense when they designed the best kit available for the GM 1/2 ton K1500 series Silverado and Sierra. CST developed this 6-8" lift kit without cutting any corners. This kit doesnt use replacement steering knuckles. Want to know why? The taller cast steering knuckles used in other kits increase the track width and require the use of axle spacers and non-factory wheels. The "knuckle kits" as well call them also limit the owner to a preset lift height. In other words, using aftermarket steering knuckles on a 4x4 GM IFS truck is the cheap and easy way to design a kit. If you want cheap and easy look at another kit. This CST 6" to 8" suspension lift is without a doubt the finest suspension system available for 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006 full-size 4x4 K1500 trucks. This kit has been proven to be the best available 6-8" suspension kit on the market for almost six years now and no other manufacturer has even come close to matching CST quality or performance. Magazine tests agree! This is the best kit available, period!The CST CSS-C3-2 6" to 8" lift kit is an extensive suspension system, an absolute requirement since the GM IFS trucks OE suspension is a complex design which incorporates the 4WD driveline. Basically, the CST system drops the entire front suspension and driveline down 6 inches through the use of a special 1-piece welded sub-frame. The factory upper control arms are dropped the same amount as the lower arms. This helps retain the factory steering geometry and ensures great factory ride, steering control, and vehicle handling. Steel spacers, brackets, and struts lower and support the front differential, custom mounts relocate the torsion bars, a fabricated dropped center link provides precise steering control and response, anti-sway bar spacers allow for stock sway bar retention. A 5" rear lift block and u-bolt kit is also included as are all required installation hardware. A set of printed instructions (with pictures) are included to help make installing your CST kit as easy as possible. Heavy Duty and Bulletproof are words that owner use when they comment on their CST kit. If you're looking for a lift that behaves as well on the road as it does off, the CST Silverado and Sierra 6-8" kit is for you. Please note that AutoTrac equipped vehicles will require an aftermarket front driveshaft! PerformanceLifts.com offers this replacement driveshaft for $399.00, a considerable savings over other companies that sell their driveshafts for hundreds more! CST also offers front and rear dual shock kits for use with this 6-8" suspension lift that allows the use of two standard or two Fox Racing 2.0 series reservoir shock absorbers at each wheel!
