    Default Lift help (pics)

    I reacently picked up a 03 4X4 1500. It's got a 6" lift. My question is I would like some help on figureing out wich one I have. One of my buddies is a fellow chevy guy, and he can't even tell me. So what kind of pictures would I need to provide for the help?

    Huh. I have never seen a lift like that. It could be homemade but it looks very stout. The double shock mounts are aftermakert and not part of the lift so they could be a couple of different brands. Cognito comes to mind.

    Yes it's a ladder suspension. The shocks are the adjustable rancho's. My buddy was amazed on how straight the angles are too.

    just checked on CST site. The drop braket looks the same.http://www.cstsuspension.com/product...7/productID/94 Also the shock hoop.http://www.cstsuspension.com/view.ju...M_AND_HOOP.jpg
    So i would say that it's a CST kit. Agreed
