The Cognito Motorsports 2.5-Inch Elite Leveling Kit is a comprehensive suspension upgrade designed specifically for 2021-2023 Ford F-150 2WD/4WD trucks. This complete kit combines precision-engineered Cognito components with premium Elka 2.5 reservoir shocks to deliver exceptional performance both on and off-road.
Cognito Uniball SM Series Upper Control Arms:
At the heart of this kit are Cognito's Uniball SM Series Upper Control Arms, engineered and manufactured in the USA. These control arms feature 1.25-inch FK Rod Ends uniball joints with corrected joint angles specifically designed to handle the articulation demands of leveled applications. The design maintains adequate droop travel to preserve factory ride quality while eliminating the F-150's characteristic nose-down rake. Control arms include provisions for Platinum model headlight sensors, ensuring compatibility across trim levels.
Elka 2.5 Reservoir Shocks:
The kit includes Elka 2.5 reservoir coilovers for the front and matching rear shocks, representing a significant upgrade over factory dampers. These shocks feature Dual Speed Compression adjustment, allowing you to fine-tune damping characteristics for your specific driving conditions and load requirements. The result is superior vibration attenuation, reduced cabin noise and rattles, and optimized damping for a smoother, more controlled ride.
