Just wondering if anyone has used a CST lift kit. Was curious about the ride quality, overall quality of the kit, etc, etc.

Hands down best 6" kit for the NBS IMO.

As far as ride quality goes has alot to do with factors like torsionbar cranking and shocks and tires than it does the kit.

Mine rides fine with about an inch of cranking (give or take) and huge blocks in the rear. The rear was not the ride I was after and unsafe (stacked blocks.. yea I know lol) IMO so I am in the process of installing custom Alcan springs as we speak.

I have fabtech shocks. Not the highest quality you will find, but rides ok. With some better shocks like Rancho 9000's or Bilstein's it would be more than perfect b/c it rides great now IMO.

But the kit... you want find better quality IMO.

I had the 6-8" CST kit on my 03 Chevy 1500HD Crew Cab. Kit was excellent. Was running 37's with dual rancho 5000's in the front and 9000's in the rear with after market torsion keys. Never had a problem with the kit! I strongly recommend it!
