BDS or COGNTIO?

Lifesgood · December 5, 2021

I want to keep this truck for the long run. I dont take my truck off road but i want the best for it, and of course things change. So you never know. . Ive narrowed down to a BDS 6.5 lift or a cognito 7 inch lift. The price difference with labour and install is roughly 1500-2000 difference.

does anyone have experience with either of these lifts? Theyre both said to be one of the best in the market.

Zone is a subsidiary of BDS and we have had their 6.5 lift on our Sierra for about eight years now. One of the phenolilc cv-shaft spacers broke and was replaced with an aluminum one a few years back. This version has the longer struts, not strut spacers.

Thats not good. Were you working the truck hard when that happened?

i wonder if maybe it was never torqued down properly

Happened before we bought the truck. Nuts and bolts are always tight during periodic inspections.
