    Long travel would be sweet but your right it is $$$$. Any reason your going with CST vs. doetsch for the spindles? Im in the process of of gathering the parts for mine. I'm Planning on doetsch spindles, bilstein shock and 3" blocks in back.

    sorry for the slow reply. but no, no reason. just CTS has a whole 4.5 inch lift with brake lines and all. just make it easier on me. i know a guy on gmfullsize that has the spindles your going with and a spacer and it looks great.

    Like I said ugly and useless unless you come over to baja. Long travel for what to drive it on the street. Wide front end and narrow rear end, effing ugly.

    Did you ever make up your mind on what you were doing? I have had long travel trucks and a truck with 11" lift on 37's and now I have a mid travel on 35's and now im satisfied with the streetability and offroad ability. It was a good compromise on both ends. It really just depends on what you are going to do with it.
