Sorry if poor forum ettiquite as I have asked this question in several other people's threads and haven't got an answer so trying again. My friend will be installing for me soon but have since read a few more things on these arms that have me concerned. Primarily is "the service perch that is welded to the front of the upper control arms pocket must be cut out....." can anyone provide pictures of what this is referring to. Also would this be a big deal if I wanted to switch back to stock for trade in? Could it be welded back in easily or shouldn't I not even worry? I was told NOT to cut the bump stop. I don't want to cut the wrong thing , this shouldn't be an issue for my friend who is in autobody but a noob like me doesn't know enough definitions to figure this out. Please post pics if you can showing these parts. Thanks

I've emailed cognito about this as I'm installing a pair myself and will post the response.

 

I would recommend that for questions like these you email the manufacturer directly. They can be very helpful

It's gotta be the bump stop. Nothing else it could be.

"Referring to cutting the service perch…This is talking about cutting the thin metal perch beneath the upper arm. This ensures that our arms will not be damaged at full-droop. That is not a bump-stop as many people believe, but merely a place for the arm to rest when the upper control arm is being serviced. Your strut assembly controls both the bump and droop travel of your suspension system."

I have no idea why they're calling it a service perch....

 

Anyways, its the bump stop like I suggested.

Thanks . I also sent an email. That what I thought they meant but was confused that they kept saying not to cut the bump stop but I should cut service perch. Thanks for clarification.

Yeah what their saying and what it actually on the truck are two different things. Maybe their assuming a hydraulic bump stop?

 

I sent them a picture asking for clarification

Never seen a stock truck with hydraulic bump stops...

 

Technically they aren't bump stops because they only limit droop. Bump stops are for up travel.

There's a miscommunication somewhere.

Yeah confirmed by cognito those are the service perches

So if that's a service perch, what bump stop are they referring to?

      Joke Thread

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young pullets, and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells. Fred's favourite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. To Fred's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. Fred was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the City Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize," but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well. Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention. Vote carefully in the next election, you can't always hear the bells.

      High Country Suburban build confirmation

      By 3CarSeatDad · Posted

      Can someone confirm if the GM order workbench terminal is able to validate a custom build sequence:   1) Initialize the Allocation Base: Open a new vehicle build queue, select the 2026 Chevrolet Suburban 4WD, and pick the High Country (3LZ Preferred Equipment Group).   2) Select the Diesel Powertrain: Go directly to the engine configuration screen and choose RPO code LZ0 (3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel). Ensure it maps to the MHS 10-speed automatic transmission.   3) Deploy the Seating Swap: Navigate to the Interior Options screen and enter RPO code ATT to replace the standard captain's chairs with the power-release 60/40 bench seat. Because you are not trying to force a separate luxury or air-suspension bundle, the standard, premium D07 Fixed Floor Console remains active. The system will accept this change immediately without triggering a warning message.   3)Apply Heavy-Duty Hauling Capability: Input RPO code NHT (Max Trailering Package). The commercial terminal will automatically bundle the required trailering hardware and software modules to support the diesel engine's maximum towing capacity.   5) Layer the Premium Tech and Glass: Separately add code C3U (Panoramic Power Sunroof) and code UKL (Super Cruise) to the order screen.   6) Run the Final Validation: Click the "Validate Order" button at the bottom of the interface.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      By revmanii · Posted

      Spent the last hour or 2 googling and reading up on the spacer thing. I don't like the loss of thread contact on the slip on spacers, but it appears you can get "extended" lug nuts that reach into the hole of the wheel to get back the lost threads. Looks like the only true hubcentric slip on spacers are at least .375". I'd want as little as I could get away with and don't want to cause other clearance issues going any thicker. Bora seems to offer what appears to be a well made .375" spacer and extended lug nuts. I searched here and did find a couple threads recommending Bora. But not cheap. By the time I buy spacers and lugs, new TPMS sensors, then pay a tire shop to install the new sensors, I suspect I'm going to be in over $400. Thinking about running out and getting some washers to put behind the wheel to see if .375" is enough to clear calipers, turn lock to lock without rubbing, and to see if the wheels/tires look strange pushed out a little. This would just be to check fitment.

      Road Master Active Suspension

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      Roadmaster makes some quality parts; I have their sway bar. I considered the RAS, but I ended up bagging. I didn't know what kind of ride I'd get with RAS, and the bags have interior jounce bumpers, so I can run 0 pounds pressure. I figured I'd have the best of normal suspension ride with assist on-demand. But it seems you got pretty much the same in one item.
