Does anyone on here running the CST 9-11" lift kit also using the Cognito support kit? Reason I am asking is I was looking at getting the Cognito support kit to help beef up the the front end as i run 40" tires. But the shop that I went to told me they could not install the Cognito support kit on my truck, something about it would not work with the CST lift kit I have. Trying to get other opinions. Thanks for any help!

The Cognito pitman idler support kit only works with lift systems that use the stock center link in the stock position. The only real upgrade that you can do is the idler pivot kit. You should replace your factory parts if worn out with some moog or spicer parts.

The Cognito braces will bind aginst the CST center link and cause a issue. I would not use the 2 together.

As stated, the pitman and idler arm braces will not function correctly with the CST drop steering system design.
