Well I finally completed my lift. Here it is, tell me what you think:

-CST 7"
-Rancho 9000X Shocks
-33x12.5R15 Nitto Terra Grapplers
-Custom front bumper made by me, also the back one.

I can get more pics if wanted, different angles or componenets.

I lived in them when I lived in Lubbock. The pastel colors is what made me notice them. Ours was painted the same colors. Wasnt to bad of a place to live since it was all college students and no families. So parties of 200 was common since everyone would just come out of the apartments and party by the pool or the basketball courts...

I loved my CST kit and looks like you do too... :rocking:

I'm liking the kit so far, but it is a little stiff. I have the front shocks set to the softest setting, but it is still stiff and the bumpstops on the upper control arms are almost touching the spring pocket of the frame. Is this a problem?

I'm not too good on obs 2wd's, but I always thought that the bumpstop was supposed to rest on the frame when at full droop. I think s-10's are this way too. So i think you're ok, but someone else may have better advice.

As far as the stiff springs... All brand new springs are going to ride a little stiff at first. After you drive for a while, or if you ever load down your front end with anything, the springs will soften up a little. If the ride bugs you too much, I've seen guys take out the shock inside of the coil, and they say it's supposed to ride pretty smooth. I don't know how smart that is, but you may want to give it a try.
