The Cognito Motorsports 2.5-Inch Elite Leveling Kit is a complete front and rear suspension upgrade engineered specifically for 2015-2023 Ford F-150 4WD trucks. This comprehensive kit combines precision-machined Cognito upper control arms with premium Elka 2.5 reservoir shocks to deliver exceptional on-road comfort and off-road capability while eliminating the factory nose-down rake.
Cognito Uniball SM Series Upper Control Arms:
The included upper control arms feature 1.25-inch FK Rod Ends uniball joints with corrected joint angles specifically engineered for leveled applications. This design maintains proper suspension geometry, maximizes droop travel for improved ride quality, and includes provisions for Platinum model headlight sensors. All Cognito components are engineered, manufactured, and assembled in the USA.
Elka 2.5 Reservoir Shocks:
The Elka 2.5 reservoir coilovers and rear shocks feature Dual Speed Compression adjustment for precise tuning. These premium dampers significantly reduce cabin noise and vibration, provide optimized damping characteristics for leveled trucks, and deliver superior performance over washboard terrain and square-edge impacts. The advanced valving reduces front-end dive during braking and cornering while minimizing rear-end bucking, and maintains excellent handling characteristics even when towing or hauling heavy loads.
