i have the 7in cst kit and have had no problems. imo the best 2wd bolt on kit is by far the camburg kit. camburg also has a long travel kit which is also badass but pretty pricey, somethin like 8500 bucks. i think the rcd kit is the best for 4wd's that are actually gonna get used. the cognito lift is cool but kind of impractical. the rcd kit is also easier on the wallet.... thats just my two cents....

Fabtech doesn't make a 7", but Cognito makes a 7-9 kit. You could always do a 6" Fabtech and get some torsion bar keys and throw an add a leaf in the rear.
TSETRUCKSTUFF.COM has Fabtech stuff, they aren't on their website yet, but you can call them (800-330-9780 ask for Jarrod) they've got good prices on their kits.
Here's a 2wd with a 7" Pro Comp kit:

The Fabtech is a decent kit, it allows you to use wheels with stock backspacing, however the track width is increased more than other knuckle lifts. Look into the 6" ProComp fulldrop kit, it is solid. Also check out the Rancho and RCD kits. Can't go wrong with those.....

CST and Cognito both are more money than your average kit. These kits aren't mass produced like the others. I know the owner of Cognito and having held numerous pieces in my hands and viewing the quality of the kits, I can guarantee they are top notch
