Ah, that's right. You posted in the Exhaust forum that the FlowFX catback disappointed you?

Yes. I swapped out the FlowFX muffler for a 70 Series. Much better now.

Replaced the ranchos with some billy's. 6112 up front with Cognito UCAs and 5100 rears.

 

Love how it rides. Wearing out these tires then going 35s.

Are the cognitos grease-able or rebuildable and do you have a level on your trailboss or still stock lift ....what do those cost , how did the ride change with the Bilsteins  .... the angle looks great

Yes there are two zerk fittings on the ends of the arms and the ball joint is replaceable afaik.

 

the 6112s offer a slight lift the highest setting is 1.2 in from a stock TB or AT4. That’s where mine is set and it still has a slight rake which I like. CV angles are good too, not perfect, but better than the MF lower strut spacers I had on the stock ranchos.

 

the ride is far more composed and confidence inspiring. I haven’t taken it off road yet but I can tell you on the streets the truck feels much more planted, rough roads reduce the Chevy shake, and body lean is minimized as well. Low speeds in parking lots it absorbs bumps a lot better.

 

I paid around $700 for the front 6112s and around $180 for the rear 5100s. In my opinion it was worth the price of admission. Not day and night like I’ve read, but definitely a noticeable improvement.

 

hope this helps.

Had the above setup minus the control arms on my previous truck, 17 Tundra, and was extremely impressed with them. Only negative is if you live up north, the bilsteins looked like crap after 1 winter.
