I'm planning to buy my 04' crewcab next month and I'm planning on the cst 8" kit. I would like to see some setups with the 35" or 37"s... I've done some research and cst seems to have the best quality and ride for the money.

 

cst is the most expensive company out there..... they have a good quality product but if i were you i would get the rize 8'' looks way better too and i havent herd a complaint yet.

this is the only 04+ f150 I have found with a cst kit.

 

What major the diff b/w the CST and Rize? Besides the price.

 

cst comes with new upper controe arms with hiem joints.

 

unless u are going to do some serious off roading u dont need the cst kit wich is alote of money the most expensive by far!! the rize kit is nicer looking in my opinion and less money and outstanding quality.

 

I'll agree. I'll do occasional offroading when I go hunting, or riding on the beach, but I'm not gonna be doing any bashing or rockcrawling so according to you guys, I should go with the rize. I was unaware of the price and thought rize was more expensive. Whats the cost on both kits? in 8" ? Any if thats the case, any body with some pics of the rize kit other than whats on their website?

 

does the kits come in black or just the silver?

 

when i was going to get the rize a got a qoute for $2750 and i herd of people getting them for around $2300. and the cst for about $3500 plus they recomend that you buy new cv style drive shafts thats another $630. i say you do the rize with 37x13.5 tires at least

 

I've seen both price at about 3 grand. Here's a side by side comparison of the cst and rize. What a great pic find!
to me, the rize suspension parts stand out too much.. I like the clean factory look of the cst products. Overall lifted look is about same on both trucks.. I'd be happy with either..

 

that shows how much better looking the rize is in my opinion. it comes in silver only i think u can get the rize kit for $2500 i hear

 

nice picture.

 

ya for looks CST>>>........ but i stilll like the price rize has...

 

Sorry I haven't been on the forum in a while and just realized you all were discussing this kit, and even had included some pics of my truck I personally love my CST kit...you can't beat the ride quality and easy install. Sure it's a little bit more money, but I know personally that with a little work you can close the gap between the two. I had some problems when I was working with Rize because they initially contacted me and gave me pricing etc. but then when I asked about some details, they never got back to me. CST is really a great kit...you can't go wrong with it! If you have any other questions just let me know, I'd be glad to help!
