hey guys im thinkin of either the cognito 7-9 or the BDS lift and i was wondering how these lifts would effect payload and towing capacity. I also would be putting deavers 6" leafs in the back soo any ideas about this

thanks

if your lifting it that tall your putting what around 35-37's so that will be the biggest difference as far as towing goes. might want to think about regearing depending on how much you plan on towing. as far as payload differences i dont have any experience with deavers myself but i know they are highly reccomended.

and a drop hitch:D I put a 3 inch body lift on, had to get 3 1/4" drop hitch for my truck so my trailer would ride level.

According to Cheverolet, payload is determined when built and cannot be increased by adding airbags or lifts,
