I just got done installing this lift on my truck and ran into a problem. The upper a-arm (cognito unit) bump stop is bottomed out and I have not yet touched the torsion bar adjustment bolts. I have the stock keys and I am in the process of flipping the ball joint to the bottom of the upper a arm. I hope this will help. Has anyone else had this problem?? Some please help I need to get this fixed.

Did you have a hard time getting the torsion bars into the Cognito piece on the lower control arm?

No problem at all with this, they went right in. I did not work on it today, going back at it tomorrow morning. After reading the directions over and over I think I need to put the torsion keys in with the suspension not at full drop. My thinking is, if I put a jack under the lower arm and jack it up so the suspension travel goes up and the torsion bar twists I can put the key way in at a different clocking. This should allow me crank the t-bar bolts and let the suspension drop down doing so. Got my fingers crossed, I'll post what happens.

OK, I got it figured out. The problem I was having was with my keys. I had aftermarket ones in when I had a cognito leveling kit on the truck. With these keys and the lift the truck was maxed out before even touching the torsion bars. Being a fool, I had tossed my old OEM keys and went to the dealer to by new ones. The keys I bought gave me the same problem. After looking at the clocking of the two different keys they were the same. I went to my local 4x4 shop and the owner gave me another set of OEM stock keys for a 2500. I swapped them out and just like that it was done. Everything is perfect and it rides great. I have plenty of upward and downward travel. New tires are coming this weekend and then I will post some pictures up. Hope this is a lesson to everyone to not toss your stock parts, you never know when you might need it.
