This lift features high clearance welded steel sub frames and fabricated steel steering uprights (knuckles) to provide you with enough strength to tackle on and off-road driving. To retain the factory air ride system CST includes all necessary front and rear spacers designed to retain the factory Air Ride system. To protect the front differential CST includes a skid plate designed to fend off most trail obstacles. Extended length braided stainless steel front brake hoses ensure safe brake operation and improved pedal feel over the factory rubber lines.

1 x CSS-D3-1-B2 = STEERING UPRIGHTS (KNUCKLES)

Stage 2 Information:
The CST Stage 2 includes a pair of CST Dirt Series 2.0 Emulsion Rear Shock Absorbers. Extended length rear shock absorbers are necessary to complete the installation and this Stage 2 system includes them. The CST Dirt Series 2.0 shocks are designed and built in-house by CST and are the best riding shocks we've tested for use with new Ram 1500 4x4 trucks. They are a rebuildable shock and feature urethane bushings instead of metal bearings found on similar "race" style shocks. The bushings are quieter than metal bearings and last longer in harsh climates.

Vehicle Fitment - Important - Please Read!
This lift will cannot be installed on any truck equipped with the standard suspension. This lift is specifically designed only for use on Factory Air Ride equipped trucks. This lift is not for use on 2-Wheel Drive models. Because of design changes this lift does not fit the 2019 Classic Edition Ram (old body style) trucks. Unfortunately due to changes Ram has made to the 2019+ Ram 1500 trucks factory equipped with 22" wheels this lift will NOT fit. This is because Ram uses a different wheel hub on trucks factory equipped with 22" wheels and those hubs are not compatible with the CST fabricated steering uprights.

Tire & Wheel Fitment:
With this new CST 6.5" kit you must run an 18" or larger wheel with no more than 5" of back spacing. CST states that tires up to 37" inches in diameter can be run with this lift. Please note that installation of larger or wider than recommended tire sizes (or wider than stock wheels) may require trimming.
