I am going to put a Cognito 4-6 on my LMM and wonder which package deal you guys think I should go with. My main goal is to fit 35s under my truck on my H2s. That's it. The cost savings on the stage 1 is really nice. How much more am I getting with going stage 2 or 3? Is it worth the extra coin??

stage 2, its not much more than stage 1 and you get better shocks.

Go stage 3 all at once, if u decide to add tie rods at a latter dater it is going to cost you more in the long run since you will have to get them installed (unless you do it yourself) then you will have to get another alignment done. Once you already have everything apart it will be alot easier.
Having everything reinforced from the beginning could also save down the line as well saving from wear and tear.
I guess it comes down to, can you afford it? How hard are you going to be on your truck?

I can afford it. I'm just wondering if it's worth it. I'm not that hard on my truck. It's a daily driver and only goes off-road (nothing too crazy) about once a month. I've only had to put it in 4WD once in the 8 months that I've had it.

you might as well just do it all at once if you can afford it. It's money well spent to strengthen the front end. Even if you don't o off road, Having stronger parts up front is always a good idea. Do you drive it hard at all? 4x4 boosted launch?

I drive it super hard on the street. But that's with no 4x4. Off-road I'm pretty tame.

again, I would just do it all at once. Just the piece of mind, knowing you have HD parts up front is worth it to me. Definitely get at least stage 2. The Bilsteins make a night and day difference on these trucks, and then, like i said, if you can afford it, just do stage 3. The stock tie rods on these trucks look like they were taken from a toyota.

Thanks for all the replies. I think I'll go with stage 3 and just be done with it!

Really if budget is not tight then the stg. 3 is the way to go sense it has all the steering upgrades and that is the main stream of what other add to there lifts as add on later. Again you can add on as well later but knocking it out can be money ahead as you will not have to re-align the truck or put up with a failure to create the need for the up grade. If you need my help placing the order PM me and we can set a time to talk as my phone line have been very crazy lately and we are getting ready to move into a new shop so I will be hit and miss on the phones but more than happy to help you place the order. Remember those packages are just for suggestion and I can tailor the package in many ways to better suite your needs and budget:).

I have been trying to make this same decision also. I think i'm going to suck it up and do the stage3.
