Yes and no, the CST 7 comes with a spacer that I did not use, doesnt mean it wont work, just too stiff for me, i got there the same way ,just smoother, and all the items an be sustituted if you want, performance lifts.com , his name is Jeff......

if you didn´t put a spacer on the spindle and don´t have longer shocks...how else did you gain the extra 3"?

you think you can keep stock shocks all arround with a 6" kit?

I should have explained, the spacer that comes with it is 3 inches for the CST 7...I got them to send me a a 2.5 inch spacer and used 2 of the (1/4) inch isolators to trim it to the last bit, mine rides really great, and its level.

wow. cant wait to see em. do 13.5s fit on the oem wheels or do u get new wheels, too? looking forward seeing a before and after (front, side and rear view - if i may post a wishlist here:).

how is your front wheel well looking with the lift. did you get a wheel well liner or something like that since u can see the upper control arm etc? in the rear everything is fine (wheel well liner is high enough) but the front is pretty "open".

Yes the 13.5,s fit the stock rims ,but I think that is as far as you would want to go.....the control arm can be seen a little but its not real obvious...the CST has 4 inch spindles so it doesn't show from that, but the spacer is what makes it show a little..you can see the oil filter,that is another reason I use the OEM Chrysler filter..its black

Got the Pro Comp Extreme 35--13.50 x 20 tires yesterday..WOW..these are freakin huge....(ever try and throw these up in the back of a lifted truck while its raining hard?..LOL )now to get them on there and then put my bushwackers back on....maybe this weekend, I would trade for 12.50's before i put these on...just got a steal of a deal
