Hi,
I need to find a good shop in the St. Louis Area, I need some suspension work done on my truck (front suspension adjustment/alignment), does anyone know of any places that could help me out?

I want to find a place that "speaks duramax," I have a Cognito Leveling kit and I really want to get it adjusted correctly before I spend a ton of money on tires again. Thanks

There is a place in South County called Showcase Customs. I know they are big into lifts but not sure how much into Dmax's. I dont know exactly where its at because I have never been there but hear alot of good stuff about them. The only other place that I know of that I have been to and they are very good as well is Carl's 4wd and performance in Bartelso Illinois. Its about 20-25 miles east of Scott Air Force Base. I'll try and dig some info up on them and repost.

I didnt use the two above personally, but it could be an option.....


I used a small shop in crystal city(about 30 min south) of stl, they put on all the lifts for the dealers around here, not sure how much knowledge they have on cognito stuff though, here is their information, ask for Robbie, he is the suspension guy

I ended up taking it to Don Brown Chevrolet. The tech told me that the original installer of the kit never adjusted the UCAs at the top. They fixed it and now my tires look like they should and the truck ACTUALLY DRIVES STRAIGHT!!

This is a great dealer, they got the job done, quickly, the first time.

its nice to hear a dealer was helpful with aftermarket parts, I wouldnt have thought they wouldve have wanted to help you since your vehicle is no longer "stock"

They were suprisingly helpful. The tech even commented saying that this was probably the best design he had ever seen. I am just really glad that the issue is finally resolved.
