    I still am trying to understand the cognition concept. Isn't the ride still stiff and rough with the torsion bars turned up?

    What size tires?

    Keys are changed. They are turned maybe a1/4 inch. There is a solid 2 inches to go and a 1 inch block for the rear. That wasn't installed because keys were barely turned. 35 inch tires with small fender modification. They barely rubbed on rear of fender. Torsion bars could have been turned more but I didn't want to go that route. Truck has shock extensions as well.

    I used Gm tech II to lower tire pressure threshold to 35psi instead of 60 psi. By doing that the tire pressure light goes out at 35 psi. I lowered tire pressures to 48 psi instead of 60 for a better ride. Truck rides great! Come drive it.

    So the cognito presses the lower a-arm down lower/more than factory upper arm without having to turn up the keys?

    I dig all but the heads. Pull the 4x4 stickers and colormatch the mirrors.

    Oh and do this to the heads instead of tinting them:

    I color matched my stickers as well to silver and black. They look so much better.

    Those lights look so much better. If you wanted to try and clear the stockers I can help you, we did it to ShotgunDave's truck and it looks killer.

    No, the cognito arms make it so you can turn up keys and still have correct balljoint geometry and angles.
