The Cognito Motorsports Standard 3-Inch Leveling Kit is engineered specifically for 2022-2024 Toyota Tundra trucks equipped with the Load-Leveling Rear Height Control Air Suspension system. This comprehensive suspension system delivers true front leveling while significantly improving ride quality and suspension travel over stock configuration.
Superior Engineering Approach:
Unlike preload collar lift kits that reduce droop travel and compromise ride quality, the Cognito kit utilizes a strut spacer design that maintains suspension travel while achieving 3 inches of front lift. This design increases droop travel from the factory 2.5 inches to 2.75 inches through improved geometry, rather than sacrificing it. The kit works with factory upper control arms, though upgrading to Cognito upper control arms is recommended for enhanced durability and appearance.
Rear Air Suspension Optimization:
The rear lift components are specifically designed for trucks with factory air ride suspension, which sit approximately 1 inch lower than coil-sprung models. The kit allows up to 2.5 inches of adjustable rear lift while maintaining a minimum of 3 inches of droop travel—a 30% improvement in rear suspension travel. This additional travel eliminates premature bump stop contact that plagues stock configurations, dramatically improving ride quality over rough surfaces and driveway transitions.
Key Features:
- 3-inch front strut spacer maintains factory suspension travel geometry
- Adjustable rear lift up to 2.5 inches with included sensor brackets
- Increases front droop travel to 2.75 inches for improved ride quality
- Improves rear suspension travel by 30% over stock
- Compatible with factory upper control arms
- Accommodates 35-inch tires with minimal trimming
- Fits both 2WD and 4WD models with rear air suspension
- Designed to work with factory or aftermarket shocks
Fitment and Performance:
Tested extensively with 18x8.5-inch wheels (+18mm offset) and 285/75R18 tires (35x11.5 inches), the kit provides excellent tire clearance with minimal inner fender liner trimming. The leveled stance can be fine-tuned by adjusting rear height—a 2-inch rear lift paired with 3 inches up front creates a perfectly level profile. Installation maintains factory shock compatibility, working seamlessly with both TRD Bilstein shocks and AVS electronic shocks.
This kit is exclusively for 2022-2024 Toyota Tundra models equipped with the factory Load-Leveling Rear Height Control Air Suspension. For coil-sprung rear suspension models, a different Cognito kit is required.
