Im looking at the Cognito leveling kit, was wondering if the Pitman/Idler support kit is worth the extra 200, also i dont drive my truck off road much, but i do take the occasional excursion off road. Are the Bilstien shocks worth the money, or would the Procomps be sufficient?Thanks

Pay $250 & got a Fabtech setup, pitman, idler & steering stabilizer.
The bilsteins get the job done or check out the ranchos, they're adjustable.

The pitman/idler supports are pretty much a must have for any 2500 if you don't want to have continual issues with the arms. Bilsteins all the way!

I put the pitman arm and idler arm support brackets on last weekend and they removed the slop from my steering completely. I was unsure about the cost but it seems to be worth it based on the results.

Just looked at price, $285, guess with metal prices going up it finally caught up.
I got them from truckperformance.com
Check with some of the vendors here, I think 1 or 2 sell them.

I looked on TruckPerformance.com, Noreaster do you have to have a lifted suspension to have these HD parts?

What is better (for the buck) the HD Fabtech parts or cognito parts?

Anyone know the part numbers for either bilstiens or ranchos? I dont want to use the shock extendo brackets that mount on the LCA, I want to have as much shock travel as possible. So I want the longer shocks

I guess they are for lifted trucks, but work on nonliftted trucks.

If you're stock arms are ok go with the Cognito supports, if they are on their way out go with the Fabtech.

DPS has the longer Bilsteins in stock.
