Thought I would add some pictures of my Sierra after installing the 4" CST lift. I had a 2" level on my truck since last Fall and wanted a little more height.
I looked at all the options as far as 4" lifts go and decided on the CST. I wanted a full drop kit to keep away from the bad angles and rougher rides the cheaper kits have. The CST kit keeps factory track width and requires no CV spacers, which in return means no wheel spacers in the rear.
I didn't want a big lift, just a more aggressive stance to the truck and this lift did what I was looking for.
For tires, I'm running a 295/55/20 Toyo Open Country A/T II tire with 20x9 0 offset wheels.
I installed the lift myself, started on Sunday morning and finished it on Monday. I installed the Bilstein adj. front struts and the Bilstein rear struts for up to 6" lift. I set the fronts to the lowest setting and used the 3" block included with the kit in the rear. I netted just over 4" of height over stock. My fender measurements are nearly 41 1/2 " front and 42" rear.
My front suspension angles are as good or better then stock. I can easily get another 1" or 2 by raising the Bisteins or using a bottom spacer. So far I'm very happy with how it turned out. The ride is just a little firmer then stock which I attribute to the bilsteins and the heavier tires.
Next thing will be getting a Tune and I'll be pretty much done.

I'm getting just a slight rub on the front at full lock. I'll probably raise the Bilsteins a notch to take car of it.
