Hey guys i finally got some pics of my trucks new setup. More pics in Garage

I installed the cognito upper control arms, cranked the stock keys up, pitman and idler arm braces, shock extenders, and a one inch block in the rear.

The wheels and tires are Pro Comp extreme Alloys 1069 17x9 with -6mm offset and tires are Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ's 33/12.5/17.

Would like to give a big thanks to Nick at Nor-Cal for all the help guiding me in the right direction with the Cognito kit. Thanks a lot Nick. Also thanks to PerformancePlusTire.com great service and good prices

Let me know what you guys think.

That came out really nice! It'd be nice if we had a thread with just pictures of trucks with the cognito level kit!

Looks good. I've always liked that blue color. The wheels really set everything off good!

how about a side-shot? Looks good. I'm trying to get the truck leveled next. Well up 2". I would like to see how that 1" block looks.

Rides great i thought it would be rougher since that seems to be what others on here have said but i would say it is about stock ride quality if not a little better, and with the wider tires it handles a lot better love the way it rides and drives!

No problem cant go wrong with the cognito they did there homework when designing this kit it works great in my opinion, and Nick is the go to guy for it will help you out with whatever you need and great service and support. I know I will deal with him again definetely!

Yea everyone has alittle different feel of what they prefer but over all most of the feed back has customers happy with the ride change for the better. Feels more controlled and that is great.
