Own a 1999-2006 2wd Silverado or Sierra pickup truck? Want to give your truck that BIG TRUCK look? The CST 7" suspension lift kit is an excellent way to get your 2wd Silverado 1500 or Sierra 1500 to stand out in the crowd. GMs all-new 2wd Silverado and Sierra took the truck world by storm back in 1999 and CST Performance Suspension was on the leading edge when it came to development of a performance off-road suspension system for GMs 2WD 1/2 ton 1500 series haulers. The CST 7" suspension lift kit has been refined over the years and is still the finest 7" kit available on the market for 2wd Silverado and Sierra 1500 series trucks. CST Performance Suspensions knowledge of the GM IFS front suspension layout allowed their engineers to create the best suspension system available for the new GM trucks: the CST Performance Suspension 7" Lift. The CST Performance Suspension 7" lift system features new tubular upper control arms with new large taper (this means stronger) ball joints, new fabricated 4" lift spindles, 3" lift coil springs, your choice of rear lift blocks and the necessary u-bolt kit. All fasteners and hardware required to install the kit are included. For those customers looking for an adjustable shock absorber PLC recommends the Rancho 9000X 9-way adjustable shock absorber (purchased separately) for use with this kit. For those customers looking for a non-adjustable performance off-road shock PLC suggests the CST CSR series shocks, the best non-adjustable shock in its price range! Shocks are sold separately and are available for purchase below using the drop down boxes located beneath the item description. Please be sure to select the proper coilspring for your application. Please note: Wheel backspacing must not exceed 4.5-inches. Stock wheels will NOT work with this kit! People have been asking what exactly is the advantage of the larger taper ball-joint used in the CST kits. The answer is simple... SIZE! The ball-joints used in the CST 2wd Silverado and Sierra lift kits are larger and stronger. The larger joints last longer and are able to withstand more punishment. Another major advantage the CST upper arm design has over other manufacturers is the use of a ball-joint mounting pocket. The ball-joint is actually mounted in double shear which greatly INCREASES the strength of the ball-joint mount. CST could save time and money by mounting the ball-joint in single shear but thats not CSTs style. Larger and heavier off-road tires place extra stress on the upper ball-joints and the CST design helps to increase the strength and reliability of this area. The money you spend buying the best the first time might just prevent you from spending considerably more repairing a cheaper kit in the future.
