Just had the CST 7'' Installed on my 2012 2wd Sport (Updated PICS)

This is the CST 7'' setup I had installed on Saturday. Tires are Toyo Open Country Extreme A/T II 35x12.5, ATX Artillery wheels (20x9, 4.53bs, -12mm offset), stock front shocks, CST performance rear shocks.

First impressions are very good. Front is a bit stiffer with the coil spacers but still rides very nice. This setup could use a steering stabilizer which I'll be looking in to. It turns great and tires have good clearance all the way around but you can feel it wanting to wonder on the highway. The Toyo's are noisier than the BFG's I've used before but definitely bearable.

Overall truck height is 6'9-10'' inches. I'm 6'5'' and you can see it's taller than me.

I'm really happy with it. Thanks to everyone for the advice and opinions.
Enjoy the pics!!

Looks good! Tire/Wheels setup is perfect with that amount of lift. All these good lookin 4th gens are giving me the itch to trade in my '06.

That looks awesome!! I just got a 2009 crew cab 2wd and I'm wanting to do the same lift. How's the mpg's so far? Did you seem to lose a lot of power?

I've only had it on two days. I just filled up this morning so I'll let you know. I'm also taking it easy power wise until everything has a chance to settle in. I'll update this thread in a few days.

You won't lose a whole lot of power.
But anytime you increase the angle on the driveshaft, you do lose some, damn you physics!

The real hit in MPGs is going to be out on the highway. More rotational mass, more frontal area, it's just all around a terrible mod for MPGs.

But it's SOOO PRETTY!

What he said..lol.
Yeah, definitely not one of those economical mods, but with a little engine work (plugs, wires, program and intake) you can make up a little bit of the difference. My only goal is to make sure the motor is running as efficiently as possible. I never expected to great mileage but I want it to be as good as it can be.

I can't wait for a sunny day to get some good shots of it!!!
