So glad you are finally coming around. I set up my leveling kit this way 4 years ago and everyone was raggin on me about installing a leveling kit. Set it up right and it’s amazing!
I did Kryptonite a-arms and shocks and used stock keys. The aftermarket keys are almost too much lift. Not worried about excessive front end wear now with ball joint angles near factory.
One question, is it a thing to cut those service stops out? Coming from desert trucks and prerunners usually we mod the stops to maximize the travel but we are messing with long travel suspension. Leveled my truck and was looking at it and even though I only went up 2 inches on my lbz and it’s close to those stops.
Why do I hear people say to just keep stock front end steering components rather than getting kryptonite. Ive seen a few people on the facebook duramax group with kryptonite kits having issues after a few months.
Actually the proper and better way to do it is to use the kryptonite upper control arms and kryptonite leveling keys, that way you don't have to cut off the factory bump stops which you're actually there for a reason.
@@JWMontoya the control arms on the kryptonite are angled at the top specifically to allow at least as much of the factory travel if not more. I did the exact same setup you did on that truck except everything is kryptonite. I run 35's with the leveling kit. The suspension and steering on that truck is now perfect, the way GM should have made it.
Cognito or Kyrptonite should offer the same amount as they are identical but I'd be interested to see what you mean. Send me some pictures oon our instagram: @jw_motorsports.co
Exactly. that's why he went with Cognito arms, which accommodates for the ball joint angle, just like Kryptonite. They are identical. If anything, cognate ones offers more camber/caster adjustability.
What’s up JW!

I have that same leveling kit. I love it. It rides so good. Those Fox 2.0 are the ticket if you ask me.
Nice! I’ll be in ur DMs soon
I also live in Atl and also have Denali 3500
Truck looks dope. I have a set of nitto 420s on 22x12s. The ride is butter smooth but riding in the rain sometimes scares the shit out of me.

I’ve done that on several truck.
Keys simply are not needed on these 2020+ trucks
Nice truck

You’ll notice the ride quality improvement when you cut the perch and allow proper downward travel.
Are cognition’s control arms better than kryptonite’s ???
yes in my opinion
No
I wouldn't say one is better than the other. flip a coin and pick one from jwmotorsportsco.com
Cognitos gont have grease zerks and require cutting, Kryptonite all day!

I haven’t heard that
I hope Cognito gives you a good deal on a 10to12 lift kit

If you don’t want to, you don’t have to with cognito kits either. They’re both identical

So in theory you could have cut the factory pump stops out. Bought new shocks and it would ride exactly the same as it does now
What would you do about the ball joint angle on the factory UCA? It doesn’t accommodate the new steeper angle
@@JWMontoya another good reason just to do it right the first time and use the kryptonite control arms
