Well - I'm i the middle of the install on a Cognito 4" kit. Wheels and tires were supposed to be here Wed....still not here.:eek: AND I broke an upper ball joint stud yesterday :mad: (torque wrench malfunctioned) SO.... I'm going to the dealer to buy a new upper A-Arm ($150) and will need to run stock wheels/tires until Monday if the tires don't show up today.
Anyone remember If I can run the stock wheels with this kit? :rolleyes:
I'll post pics if I ever finish it :) Thanks

I have not used stockers on a 4" yet but I'm sure you will clear..Too bad to here about your wheel and tire combo. I would wait for the alignment tell you have the tire on and dial in the t-bars. Just a thought if you had not thought about it yourself.

Thanks! I did think of that. I think I'm going to wait. How fast could I get the upper A-arms from you?? I sent you an e-mail.

Man that sucks...... I have Cognito UCA's in stock. You should be a day away. The tool was to you in a day right?

PS, I'm not at the shop so I didn't get the e-mail till mon.

I got the tool an the kit on the same day. 2 days shipping on the kit and 1 day on the tool (I think).

I'll call you mon morning and get it worked out with you. Man the tires not being there yet was a sign. That sucks when your trying to be ahead of the game you get set back any ways.:(

Hope the rest goes good for you.

spring for the Cognito UCA, spend the extra dough. Don't drop $150 on a replacement UCA, you'll be better off in the long run:thumb:

Agreed, go with Cognito UCA's...the more I look at the factory arms, the more I dislike them. It's on my list of upgrades for sure. Good luck on your build!
