  • @jayb7675
    @jayb7675 6 місяців тому

    You have to cut the service perch/bump stop with this kit. That’s because it has the flat upper control arms. Cognito also makes a tubular upper control arm that doesn’t look as nice but also doesn’t require you to cut up the truck. This way you can go back to stock if you wanted without having to weld parts back on.

    @CJGame-N-Play 2 роки тому +8

    Being honest here... all that for 2 3/4" lift and ride quality? If you didn't get the Z71 shock package... I might see this. But for larger aftermarket tires I don't see it. I have a 22 LTZ and for 35's on 20 factory rims with zero issues.

    • @chrisc5574
      @chrisc5574 6 місяців тому

      ​@michusb930 from what I've read I think the 12.5's might rub the control arm if you keep the factory offset. 295's are probably the course to go which gets you a taller tire than the 35x12.5

    Educate me. If you install a leveling kit, won't it cause major sag when towing??

    • @sotomio
      @sotomio 2 роки тому

      The same sag on what you normally tow will happen since the rear has not been changed. The only way to keep the rear from squating if it does when towing is airbags, or adding a leaf spring.

    I love this look. I just want to clarify, at the end of the video with the wheels and tires, you said at one point the tire was a 285 but then at the end of the video you said it was a 35, I love the way that set looks so I just want to double check, is it a 285 or is it a 35 tire? Great video, thank you!

      Go with a 35 or even 37. Stock tire size is 34.1.
      when i brought my 3500hd home i rolled a mounted 35 inch tire up to my stock tire and i was blown away at the fact there was basically no difference in height.
      I am waiting on a 7 inch kit but i am running 37x12.50 with no leveling kit, just turned up torsion keys. so 37s will fit on this kit. if you have to trim itll be super minor.
