Default Spindle Lift.. Complications?

Hey everybody, I'm going to put a 4" spindle lift on soon. For those of you that have a spindle lift, or the CST or Doetsch 7" lift, were there any complications? Brake lines have enough slack? Anything will help, thanks

I have the CST 7" lift with the shocks all the way around and i LOVE IT.

I have 2 threads where i take them for some pretty heavy offroading and it's performed beautifully. Keep in mind though, i've only taken it out a few times but CST is the way to go.

I got mine installed and it cost about 1800 with shocks. So the labor was nominal compared to what they had to do.

I'll get you the links in a minute, i gotta get food right now. (I'll come back.)

You''ll need longer brake lines I'm most positive. Good time to get some fancy looking braided stainless ones.

Damnit.. You're the first one that said I'll need longer brake lines. There was a few other guys I talked to on DT that said I don't need longer brake lines for a 7" lift with the 02-05 body style. They said 06-08 needed longer lines.

I dont have CST but I do have RC and I didnt need longer brake lines. However, it may be different with the CSTs or others.

However, putting the spindles on was not an hard task.
