@@rodneyjenkins5538 it's not. Some people are just haters. I had their 7" kit on my 2015 Chevy 2500HD. I don't want to go that big on my new 2021 Chevy so I'm considering this lift.
Ordered the premium 4" lift for my 2021 2500 high country 👍🏻. Also ordered the HD tie rods and supersteer HD idler arm support on top of that. Love the truck but it rides like a wagon with the 3" readylift level/lift. I hope this kit helps.
@@basedcanadian6869, how is the lift performing? I am looking to do the same, although the elite with Elka shocks and traction bars for the rear, on a 2024 3500HD High County!....😊
@@checkmatearmament2281 it performed amazing man way better than a body lift or stock it was incredible. Sold the truck tho and bought a Bentley recently haha
I have a 2017 GMC Denali diesel. I had this kit installed oh my truck when I had 12,000 miles on it with new wheels and tires. When I was Paul my Tori trailer I thought I had a flat couple times cannot figure it out. It turned out the front right shock blow a gasket leak dollar oil out. Went back to the shop I had it installed at the one-year warranty was over with they charge me Close to $200 to order a new shock. And did not want to install it without charging me so I installed it myself. Now I have 40,000 miles on the truck and the front of the truck is making squeaky noises!!!
Not to burn this lift, but why do this when you can go to BDS for almost the same cost? BDS will back your factory warranty and if the factory warranty denies you, BDS will step in and cover the costs. Not sure cognition backs your warranty or covers any cost should the dealership deny a claim. PS, all of the “black widow” trucks, have a BDS kit installed, further helping your argument to GM if something should happen. If it’s good enough for them to out on the trucks they charge you 100k, why wouldn’t it be good enough for us to do?
First Time Viewer. Great Video. @ 5:07 - ....."don't want people setting these trucks too high". Exactly Correct.....messes with the "Center of Gravity". Be better if a 37 inch tire would clear the rim and tire in the wheel wells with less than 4 inch lift and no cutting. GM engineers have designed a square / rectangle wheel well for a round rim and tire since 1973. Makes no sense whatsoever. The proverbial "round peg in a square hole". Some improvement now on 2019 and newer Chevrolet trucks...with way more rounded wheel well...for the round rim and tire. But...the GMC trucks? Why add the UGLY 45 degree angle lines to the square / rectangle wheel well? Not only are the aesthetics horrible...but, the functional problem of "lack of clearance for articulation" is still not resolved for GMC truck owners who want to make their trucks more capable off-road by installing larger tires.
After mines was installed on a 2023 gmc 3500 I have weird front end klunks on both driver and passager. Cognito nor a shop around me can figure it out. Anyone with same experience? 4in lift with king shocks.
Kit recommends a max of 37x12.5R20 with 5.5 backspace. Will a back space of 5 or 5.75 work as well for a 37x12.5R20? Not many wheels with backspace of 5.5
With this kit will I be able to run a 22*10 -18 offset with a 325/50/22 with minimal rubbing with trimming on my Sierra 3500 Denali? @cognitomotorsports

Very very little. It's still like driving with a stock rim and tire and doesn't throw anything on the side unless you're in mud and it's very minimal. - 18 is like between an 8 and 9 and nothing close to a 10 or the crazy 14
Thank you Cognito for answering NO ONES questions. 🤦🏼♂️
Online it answers 90% of this shit. Common sense most companies want you to visit their website.
Best lift on the market. I love it when people spend $80k on a truck then put a garbage rough country lift on it. LOL
Big facts. This is going on my 2021 2500hd LTZ
Didn't know rough country was garbage

Where was this kit installed? I’m in Texas and the dealership tag said Holiday and that is where I purchased my 2021 Duramax.
Wish you had shown the truck off a bit more.
Wow. That’s more than I want to spend. 😂
Waiting on the 7in I dont wanna trim anything. Hurry up and get them things off back order.
How do you adjust the droop travel? If it is under 3 inches
Awesome! Are the Cognito part number fox shocks valved different?
How many times you think the seats will take sliding in and out of before they start to fail?
27,362 slides before it wears thru for an average 180lb human
Regret selling my 2020 LT 2500...get so much more "truck" in HD series.....ill wait and get another when this all settles down
Do you have to cut the frame in order to fit this kit??
Good kits but those upper ball joints don’t hold up, at least here on New England roads.
How tall is the truck with the lift?
Anyone know which model Method wheels these are?
What type method wheels were installed? Look so clean on the white truck!
Wonder if you could run 37x13.5s on 22x12 with -51 offset.
That's 4.5" backspace 🤔
They would fit at the greatest extent as it's close to a 14 but turning would be inhibited.
Bundle those three and give a package discount. Will 38x13.5's still fit with a little less droup and how much wheel offset is needed?
No. They won't fit and drive and turn right. You would need over -34
How much does it usually cost to install this?
how much did that lift cost out the door?

And forgot to mention you had to remove the mudflaps to install this kit...
About how much is a lift kit like that cost
After mines was installed on a 2023 gmc 3500 I have weird front end klunks on both driver and passager. Cognito nor a shop around me can figure it out. Anyone with same experience? 4in lift with king shocks.
I had same experience on my 2016 3500 with Cognito 4-6 and King 2.5s. Turned out the shock mounting bolts were not tight enough and I had slop.
Would this lift be an issue if you pull a fifth wheel?
What is the price for lift and wheels 🛞?
Def going with zero offset maybe even -12 it needs that wider stance. Just my opinion Either way sick truck!
If the Zero will require minor trimming I’d be leery of the -12 but yeah it certainly looks better with -12 in my opinion! 😂
Any plans to put the 7 inch lift on here?
Beadlock wheels?
Where you located I would like you to install my lift
Kit recommends a max of 37x12.5R20 with 5.5 backspace. Will a back space of 5 or 5.75 work as well for a 37x12.5R20? Not many wheels with backspace of 5.5
A 9” wide wheel with +18 offset is 5.75” backspace. Should be fine.
What is the MPG after the lift and tires? just curious..
i have a 2021 with a 7 inch kit and 38x13.50's. stock i was getting 14 max now im at 11.8/12 mpg. and thats not driving like an asshole.
I'd say buy a 1500 and keep it stock if you worry about mpg. Not being a smart ass, just a realist.
