CST kits are built to the highest tolerances, ride reassuringly well and handle great on the road. they are built to take an extreme lickin offroad, and the 04+ kit comes with revamped invincible steering

i only have hte basic 97-03 kit for my 2000 and i still get air with it. of course i upgraded to the fox 2.0's though

Can we see this "revamped" invincible steering. You sound like a salesmen always preaching the CST word. My steering rack has snapped in half from wheeling with this fabtech, but the kit has held together great. Would have liked a better mounting system for the steering rack and would like to see CST's.

IIRC, it was a 2006 FX4. The white one with the Banks kit, correct? Yeah, it was an '06.

alright well I am debating on getting either the cst, fabtech or skyjacker lift. I will probably try to hit just about every mud hole I see so I want something thats gonna hold up pretty well. in that case do you all think the fabtech or skyjacker kits will do the trick for me or should I drop the extra cash and go with the cst?

I'd like to get the 36x15.50 mickey thompsons that trooks has on his truck and 20x10 mazzi hulks. will a 6" lift clear that set up?

With the 15.50 wide I ended up havin to add the spacer to get 8.5" to not rub at all. With just 6" you will have some rubbin with that tire/wheel combo.
