BUMP!!! haha I was trolling for some info on those too! I got a killer (IMO) deal on an 04 2wd and was pumped FINALLY see a company offering 2wd HD lifts. Definately wondering about the same lift, only without the blocks (so it's at 4.5" or some stuff). Dont really want to stuff more than a 33" and thought these would be bueno. Anyone?

Here's my 2006 with the CST setup underneath it. I didn't buy the complete kit. I used the CST spindles and coil spacers combined with my stock shocks and the rear leafs that came off my 2006 4x4 when I lifted it. The wheels and tires are the stock H2 wheels and 315/70/17 BFG all terrains. The wheels and tires ended up being free for a set of 5 once I sold the stockers on craigslist. These are the ideal wheels and tires to run with the CST setup because they are as far inboard as you can get and still clear the spindles nicely. I apologize for the picture quality, these were just pictures I had on my iPhone. Let me know if you'd like any more pics.

Not a problem. The truck rides fine except I'm trying to figure out a new shock setup all around. The CST kit calls for the use of the factory front shocks and they simply aren't long enough and cause the truck to react oddly over bumps. I'm looking into running some custom rate coil springs to replace the front spacers as well as some remote reservoir shocks valved accordingly. The truck tows fine and behaves pretty similar to stock. Here are some better pictures that I took:

I was thinking about doing the same kit with my old CR.

CST does make a great kit and they are pretty reasonably priced.

just an honest question, why would you want to lift a 2wd?

To drive off road. The majority of desert off road race trucks are 2wd.
