Cognito Motorsports 210-P1178 Elite Lift Kit with Elka Reservoir Shocks - 12-Inch 2.5

The Cognito Motorsports 12-Inch Elite Lift Kit delivers a complete suspension transformation for 2020-2022 Silverado and Sierra 2500/3500 trucks in both 2WD and 4WD configurations. Engineered, manufactured, and assembled in the USA, this comprehensive kit combines premium Cognito components with high-performance Elka reservoir shocks for superior ride quality and proper suspension geometry.

Advanced Upper Control Arms: The included SM Series Ball Joint Upper Control Arms feature boxed sheet metal construction with welded reinforcement and semi-gloss black powder coating. These arms correct ball joint angles for lifted applications while improving allowable droop travel, resulting in enhanced ride comfort and performance. Pre-installed maintenance-free ball joints and pivot bushings come ready to install.

Patented Steering Support: The Cognito Pitman and Idler Arm Support Kit (PISK) addresses the common wear issues that have plagued GM steering systems for decades. This patented design provides additional support to the pitman and idler arms, eliminating the forward and rearward movement of the center-link for improved steering precision and component longevity.

Premium Elka 2.5 Reservoir Shocks: These high-end shocks feature adjustable high and low-speed compression damping, allowing precise tuning for your specific driving style and terrain. The external reservoir increases oil volume for cooler operating temperatures, delivering consistent performance and better fade resistance under demanding conditions.

Deaver Rear Spring System: The kit includes a complete Deaver leaf spring replacement crafted from high-quality spring steel. With a higher leaf count using thinner leaf material, these springs provide 4 inches of rear lift over stock height while maintaining excellent ride compliance and load-carrying capability.
