It was a informational comment reguarding diff spacers.Cognito level 4 and diff spacers would no doubt be best for the truck long term you must admit SMiller.Or is all leveling parts by all the suspension company's useless ?

Love the Cognito A-arms, hate their ball joints though. Odd that Cognito doesn't offer diff spacers.

 

 

Can you explain what aftermarket keys offer over stock in a situation where the stock key gets you the lift you need?

[Big Buck]

After talking with Cognito,they said aftermarket keys are not needed if a enough lift is achieved with stock keys. So anyone who stated that is correct.

I cranked my stock keys to the max before I replaced mine and I could not get it 100 percent level.. It was very close but not enough.. The aftermarket keys gave mye the extra inch I wanted

I decided to crank my bars today to see what it looked like and check the angles. Passenger side was 39 & 3/4. Driver was right at 40. I don't remember exactly how many turns I did on each side but I got both sides a little over 41 1/2 without maxing the bolts out. I can definitely go up more and may go on up to 42". CV's still look good. UCA has enough space between them. I forgot to look at the ball joints while it was still light outside but what I could see they looked ok (will check better tomorrow).

Got a few pics of UCA, Ball joint, and CV angle. Not wild about ball joint angle but not sure if its a major concern. Opinions?

 

UCA gap appears to be good to go right at 3/4" gap

 

Not a great pic of the CV angle but they ok to me (what little I know)

 

Opinions, thoughts, advice? I know it needs an alignment.

She will run a long and happy life right there. Get an alignment and you are all set.

Man I hope so..HAHA

Got to find some Copper ST Maxx now. The local Cooper store said 295/70/18 were special order and couldn't give me a exact price.

I'm torn between ordering them off the net, getting the store to order them or just going with Nitto Terra G2 in same size.

For reference I think the MSRP on them was 255. I got the Paw-in-law discount so mine were 225.

I want to say the rear is 43in.? I set mine at 42in. in front and its perfect, just keep the front end greased and get a alignment done.

 

Order the tires or you will wish you had.

Looks like rubber boot is going to wear out.

I would not buy the tires that are in stock because you will later wish you would have waited on the tires you really wanted.

Hey Brad, was wondering why Cooper or Nitto tires ?

Because they are both offered in the 295/70R18.

And I really like the look of the STT Maxx.

I've always ran BFG All Terrain and like the new All Terrain KO2 but they don't have any sizes I prefer.
