This CST 4" Suspension Lift is designed for use only on 2007-2013 model year Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 pickup trucks models. If your Silverado or Sierra has All Wheel Drive (AWD) this kit is for you! CST Performance Suspension is known for building the finest suspension lift systems that money can buy. General Motors has honored CST with an Engineering Award for their Chevrolet and GMC suspension lift system designs. CST has taken this award winning engineering and construction talent and applied it to their 4" Suspension Lifts for the 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 AWD pickup trucks.
The majority of GM's full-size pickup trucks are now factory equipped with General Motors Stabilitrak system. Stabilitrak has made it more difficult to produce a suspension lift kit that does not interfere with the on-board computer systems. There are a number of lifts on the market that can prematurely activate the Stabilitrak system when driving around corners or on off-camber road surfaces. This CST suspension lift system DOES NOT HAVE STABILITRAK ISSUES! Ask some other lift kit builder if their kit is 100% compatible and see what they say! CST worked very hard to build this kit and it has two great features that CST is rightfully very proud of. CST is very confident when they say their 4" kit is one of few that is 100% compatible with the GM Stabilitrak system. Do your homework before you buy a kit for your new GM vehicle as most kits on the market still have Stabilitrak issues!
The second major accomplishment that CST achieved with this lift is the factory track width will remain very close to how the truck came off the assembly line if you use a wheel with 5.50" of back space. The CST lift is currently the only 4" lift available that does not increase the vehicle track width! That means no CV spacers and your tires will NOT be sticking way out of the fender well. If you want to increase the track width it's easy, simply select a wheel with less back space than the factory wheel!

CST recommends the use of a 33" tall tire on 8" wide wheels. CST does admit that larger tires may fit but your mileage may vary. Ideally, a 33" tall tire on an 8" wide wheel with 5.00 inches of back space is recommended. If you want to run a larger tire we'd suggest performing a test fit before mounting up and installing all four tire/wheel combos. The factory Denali 20" wheels have 6.00" inches of back space. If you want to retain your factory 20x8.5" Denali wheels a 1/2" wheel spacer will be required to clear the larger ball-joint used in the CST Tubular Steel Upper Control Arm. There's nothing worse than buying a tire and wheel combo that doesn't fit. If you need help selecting the correct tire and wheel package please let us know.
