    So I've had the kit for a few weeks. I have driven it over all terrains from very extreme to my daily commute and I would say the only time I ever noticed these being better than my Bilsteins were at high speed Offroad and jumping. I haven't found a setting yet but someone told me today to set the rear softer than the front so I might try that. Has anyone done this or does anyone have a setting strategy to try? If anyone is considering these I might try the icons if you drive on the street for more than 80%. I'm not giving up on them however because I'm still hoping I find a nice street setting for all 4 corners that I really like. Yes I'm probably being picky but for the price I paid I was expecting a ride as smooth as my buddies diesel with kings(carli). Also just an update I still have not removed the perch. I'll keep y'all updated and try to figure out how to post pictures. Any suggestions or comments are always appreciated! Thanks

    Have you or anyone else experienced this?

    I can't figure out how to upload pictures from my phone. I got 275/60/20 terra grapplers and I am very happy with them and how they look. The truck sits very level and looks really good. I did not have them cut the perch and when I am driving on the highway and hit a bump that causes the truck to jump up and the front tires droop down I can hear and feel the UCA hit the perch. I am now leaning towards cutting the perch but I also plan on being pretty rough on this system and I know you guys have said by cutting the perch it can cause over droop and that can damage the system. I had a strut over extend on my last truck and when I landed I was nose down and on impact it caused the shock piston to bend out of the shock housing which was not good. Can anyone provide a part number on limiting straps or bump stops or anything else to fix this that I could buy? Thanks

    I got my truck back and it sits level and looks very good. I have been trying to adjust the Kings to a setting that I like. I haven't gotten a chance to drive that muh since I got my truck back but I will this week. Initial impression is not really much different than my Bilsteins but I hope it's just because I haven't driven enough to test them out. Here are some pictures.

    Ok awesome that makes me feel better. So you cannot adjust these while they're on the truck?
  8. TEXAG14Denali
    So I got a call from the shop saying they have never seen coil overs that you can't adjust with a spanner wrench or the wrench it comes with because there is so much pressure on them. They said they will need to put the shocks in a press and adjust them like that. They also said they install kings every week and have never seen this. Just my luck. Any one else run into this problem?
  9. TEXAG14Denali
    Would leaving them be better for going airborn? Sorry for all the questions
  10. TEXAG14Denali
    Ok then I will go ahead and cut it and hope for the best.
  11. TEXAG14Denali
    Yes I will post a detailed review of how they ride. They are the 2.5 all around with adjustable reservoirs. I will give Cognito a call this afternoon. Thanks again everyone for all the help!
  12. TEXAG14Denali
    Ok good that's what I thought I just wanted to be sure. They should arrive today and will be installed sometime this week or weekend. I will post pictures when it's done. I am still undecided on what to do with the frame stop but I'm leaning towards leaving it for when I do push the system to its limits nothing breaks. If I am reading yalls comments correct leaving the frame as is would be playing it safe? Is that correct?

    Sierra your truck looks awesome. I'm gonna put mine at 3" hopefully it sits like that. Not exactly sure what to look for to see if it has magna ride or not. Swapped out the ranchos with bilsteins no problem so I am guessing I don't have the magna ride.
  14. TEXAG14Denali
    Can anyone back up that I don't have magna ride and these shocks I just bought will work for my truck? Thanks
  15. TEXAG14Denali
    My Denali is a 2014 so I was under the impression they don't have the magnetic ride control until 2015. Please confirm
  16. TEXAG14Denali
    I am hoping to install and get tires next week. Can you text me some pictures of your truck with 275/65/20 please? I will dm you my number
  17. TEXAG14Denali
    Great information Corncob. Thanks for the pictures. I am thinking I will probably lean towards cutting it. How hard do you have to be on them for something to go wrong if they are cut? Thanks for all the help guys!
  18. TEXAG14Denali
    I would love to see some pictures. Don't have to be good ones just want to see how the truck sits and the tires. Would you recommend cutting the bump stops out while I have them installed? Any negative effects of this? Thanks for the help
  19. TEXAG14Denali
    Good to know. Can you send pictures of your truck? Do you know if they cut the extension stops on your frame or if that doesn't apply when getting new UCA? Thanks Also are you running your shocks at 3"?
  20. TEXAG14Denali
    Ok great. I live in the Dallas area. Thats good to hear the 275/65 will fit. I will ask corncob what his are set at. I have also read some conflicting threads about cutting part of the frame that is to prevent over extension? With the Kings and UCAs is that ok to cut off? Thanks
  21. TEXAG14Denali
    I'm gonna try for 275/65/20 but will probably end up going with 275/60/20.
  22. TEXAG14Denali
    I got a really good local shop to quote me at $500 for install of everything and alignment. Rather them do it right than myself mess something up. I'll post pictures when it's done. My Bilsteins at the highest setting still don't level out the truck. I'm thinking because it's a Denali the front was extra low. Wondering if setting the Kings at 3" will level it perfect, be too high or still not enough. Can you adjust the shock height when they are installed? Thanks
  23. TEXAG14Denali
    I was Class of 16. Thanks for the input. I went with the kings all around and Cognito UCA. I've been told they will fit with my factory Denali 20" Thinking maybe I should have gone with icons? Hopefully the Kings are really great for what they cost. Thanks
  24. TEXAG14Denali
    Also part number and links for the cognitos and fox. And bushleaguechew if you could also give more of an I depth review on how the suspension is on the road at low speed/high speed and the same for off road. Thanks so much, really appreciate yalls help!
  25. TEXAG14Denali
    Thanks both y'all for the responses. I am hoping to run 295/55/20 with this setup. Do you have a part number or a link to where you bought your kings? How do you like the Kings? I have heard all great things about the foxes. Are the kings that much better or does it come down to personal preference? Thanks again for yalls help!
