The Cognito Motorsports 3-Inch Elite Leveling Kit with King 2.5 Reservoir Shocks is a complete suspension upgrade system designed for 2011-2019 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 2500/3500 trucks in both 2WD and 4WD configurations. This comprehensive kit bundles premium Cognito components with King performance shocks to deliver improved handling, enhanced ride quality, and increased ground clearance without the guesswork of piecing together individual parts.
The kit includes Cognito Ball Joint SM Series Upper Control Arms featuring boxed sheet metal construction with CNC robot welding and semi-gloss black powder coating. These control arms correct ball joint angles for leveled applications and improve droop travel for superior ride quality. Heavy-duty ball joints, new crush sleeves, and polyurethane bushings are included to ensure all suspension components work properly and last longer.
Forged torsion bar keys provide durable front-end leveling that matches the rear height of your truck, while the innovative Cognito PISK (Pitman and Idler Arm Support Kit) addresses the chronic steering wear issues common to GM trucks. The PISK design provides additional support to pitman and idler arms, eliminating center-link movement and improving drivability, fuel economy, and tire wear.
King 2.5-inch diameter reservoir shocks elevate on-road and off-road performance with large shock bodies and external reservoirs that dramatically increase fluid capacity and heat dissipation. These shocks deliver sustained damping performance under punishing conditions and feature compression adjusters for fine-tuning. Built with race-proven design and serviceable construction, the King shocks allow valve adjustments with simple hand tools.
