My procomp is far from flimsy! I do wish I would of gone with the coil-overs though. But If I were to do it all over again, it would be with a 10" SFA lift and sway-a-way coilovers.

My vote is for CST

Weazel - how does the CST kit lift the rear? Blocks or springs? If blocks what size?

Thanks,

Weazel, how good are does tires for normal street driving? Do you know how many miles the can get?

I guess after everything said here, I am going with the 6" procomp, 3" PA on 37x13.50R20 Nitto tires and Moto 951 wheels. Doing body lift this weekend.

But you don't buy the grapplers for the ride quality.

Some really good pics of truck in this thread. I might get my truck done with those guys in the Woodlands. Too bad it's about an hour drive from my house.

Wait a secound here. . wow!!

First off, Nitto Mud Grapplers riding bad? . . you must have a bad set, please ride on a set of any other tires except the Toyo Open Country M/Ts. They ride exceptionally well for how aggressive they are, sure they do have a little low-speed shake to them but thats it. Yes they are loud but what do you expect!?

Secoundly, the CST does look like it has more ground clearance. But it seems like a minimal difference, maybe 1/2-1" more than the Rize. However, do the CST kits come with front trac bars!? Just another observation, the angles arn't nearly as good as the Rize's. Sure the CST comes with a new UCA but guess what? No new LCA. I'm not trying to bash the CST lift by any means but just pointing out some observations. I think the CST is one of the best lifts out there for the 2004+ F-150.

Lastly, keep the rubber side down!
