Wow thanks for all the advice and offers guy:thumb: i really appreciate it

Kyle, Im sure ill end up calling you at some point during the install soon as i get stumped over something completely obvious lol.

Tom, i would love to borrow your tool if you dont mind (but not in a gay way:D)
long as you let me give you some cash to at least cover your shipping to me if not a little extra so you can buy yourself something pretty:rofl:


thanks again everyone:hug:

Thanks for the offer, but no cash needed. Just pay to ship it back to me. Priority Mail doesnt cost much.

I do have to admit that whole exchange did sound kinda "rainbowey".....ewwwww.

Its on its way. As for helping...isnt that the gist of this whole forum thing? Helping others with the same interests so everyone wins in the end?

How much lift are you guys getting with the different keys? I Just put the cognito UCA on and my stock keys are maxed out and I'm still not level. I'm being told I should try some leveling keys. I'm ok with that I just want to make sure its going to work before I spend the green....I could use shock extenders too. Those poor things are gonna pop! Thanks for the help.....hope I'm not :hijacked:

You can get 2" of lift out of the stock keys. "Green" keys start at 2" and go up to 4".

For the shocks...use washers to shim the top mount down about 3/4", or you can make some spacers for the bottom mount. IIRC, Cognito sold a taller lower mount that works nicely, too.
