Just bought my first Chevy 2500 gas motor but wanting to level it and put 35s on it on factory wheels. Looking at the cognito leveling kit with shocks upper control arms and spacers fore the back. Seems like a good kit just wanted some input.

Yep it's a good kit , I combined mine with suspension max 1in rear block kit instead and suspension max diff drop . I'm also running fuel covert bronze wheels 20/10 -18 bs. Excellent ride had to do minor trimming on front mud flaps but other than that very happy. May add the suspension max steering damper soon just for the heck ove it.

I did the diff drop more for peace of mind, I figured it couldn't hurt to keep the CV angle flat as possible. I also did the pisk you ordered just forgot to put it in my post. The truck drives excellent in my opinion, in fact better than the 19 bone stock work truck we have for reference.

Used the supplied fox 2.0 non reserve shocks on all four corners. With kit supplied front top shock mount, the only cutting you have to do on the hole kit is chop of the front service mounts located above the top a arm forward position.

Kjduvall, did you upgrade shocks or just use spacers on the OEM's?

Check out AccuTune.  I just ordered their Fox 2.5  Leveling Kit with Icon A Arms.  What I liked about AccuTune is that once they receive your Fox Shocks, they tune them to what you want which is included in the price. Seems like a good idea or I got scammed. Lol.  Anyone hear about AccuTune?  Oh well just a thought. Check them out as an option.

43 3/4 front 43 7/8 rear with a lot of thread left to go on the key adjustment up front, keep in mind I'm a reg cab 3500 so it may end up a little different on a 4 door 2500 . I always like to get the rear where I want it first then adjust the front accordingly.

if for some reason you dont like how it sits you can always change the rear blocks and u bolts. they make 1in 1.5in and 2in+ to get it how you want it. and there is also adjustment left to go up or down in the front as needed, once your happy with overall look then go get it alighned. go to customwheeloffset site and look at similar trucks, it may give you a good idea as to how it will sit .

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Why don't I have a good scanner? I've always wanted one when I've needed one.   My latest reading says I don't need to do a relearn on the ckp sensor on a 1995 with OBD 1.5. The relearn is prescribed for the later-model 1995's which shipped with actual OBD II when GM completed the transition in prep for the 1996 MY. I need to confirm that. Did you know forums are disappearing? Knuckleheads on Facebook... it's not the same. It's just not.   So, scanners. Again, shooting myself in the foot for having eBayed my Snap On MT2500 "brick" with all the adapters. Not that I couldn't buy another but those are getting quite old, and mine wasn't new enough to work on 2000's vehicles.   Damn it (as I'm scanning my email between paragraphs here). Did you know there's a 2000 Jimmy 2-door on BaT that's ending this morning? It's local. I want it. 14k miles. Absolutely beautiful.   Back to scanners. MT2500's are old. Solus, now that could be a contender. There's a ~2008 Verus with a system error that's basically new in box for cheap. Hmm...I'm not sure about a scanner that runs an archaic version of windows (95 or CE, I can't tell).   I want the ability to reset and rotate TPMS, test individual modules, bleed ABS, electronic parking brake controls for servicing brakes, relearn procedures and other bidirectional controls.   Snap On does an MT2600. It's a new model as of last year, marketed as their "entry" scanner. Entry? Only where $1900 gets you through the doorway plus, I'm guessing, $1000/year if you wish to keep it current. So goes scan tools actually designed for production environments. Want decent products with excellent support, you pay for it.   Everyone is raving about Autels and TopDons and Foxconns and all these newer brands that are selling the $500 "prosumer" scanners for backyard hacks like me. They're tempting...honestly. Updates are cheaper, base prices are remarkably cheaper... And you get to deal with bugs and translation whoopsies and, well, just don't use it on anything expensive, OK? Having a dealer replace an ECU because it needs to be re-imaged after an adventure in scanning is no joke. But I think most people are getting by OK with these units.   eBay on a scratch-and-sniff pro-model oldie, a shiny new TopDon, or???   God dang it, I can't stop looking at this Jimmy. I'm ready! I'll Bring The TRailer! It's beautiful.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      I removed the OE running boards.  It looked so much better.  I wish I took them off a long time ago.     I had to put something back on for my wife.  I wanted Westin Sure Grip Running Boards but they are very pricey, like $600 plus.  I was going to go with the Ionic 41's like I had on the 2019 Silverado but went with Westin Outlaw Drop Steps instead, about $200 cheaper.  They are sturdy and functional but not super crazy about the look, but it works.

      Disable DRL's

      By fondupot · Posted

      I had a Gen5DIY DRL relocate harness from a 2022 1500 that I saved. I had Gen5DIY modify the harness for my 2024 Silverado 2500. Plug n Play, worked perfectly.    Here's a video I made for the 2022 1500 truck. The install is more or less the same on a 2500.    The harness relocates the DRL tot he top amber turn signal on my 2500.

      Can ask that about a lot of places.   Holiday sells 91 for $1 over 87 octane. BP 93 is 80 cents. Amoco 93 is 80 cents Kwik Trips is $1.20 for 92 or whatever they have and $1 for the 91.   I know that this is not exactly same as what you are saying with the premium to premium debate of those two stations but why is there such a difference. Top Tier this and that, it's all BS. All the fuel comes from the same damn refinery, so give me a break.
