Cognito 11-19 Chevy/GMC Silverado/Sierra 2500/3500 HD 2WD/4WD 3in Standard Leveling Kit

Cognito is known for making solid suspension components for trucks, and this standard leveling kit for your 2011-2019 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD or 3500 HD is no different. This kit bundles together everything you need to lift the front of your truck by 3 inches, helping to level out that nose-down rake and giving you the option to fit larger tires. It’s a straightforward way to change your truck’s stance and capability.

Inside this kit, you’ll find Cognito’s SM Series upper control arms. These aren't just stock replacements; they feature a modified ball joint angle designed to prevent travel limitations that can happen when you lift a truck. This improved ball joint angle helps maintain proper suspension function and allows for better droop travel, which is important for ride quality and the longevity of your suspension parts. You also get Cognito’s forged torsion bar keys, which are built to be incredibly strong and bolt right into your factory location for an easy installation. To achieve the 3-inch lift while keeping your factory shocks, the kit includes front shock spacers. This combination ensures you get the desired height without needing to replace your entire shock assembly.

With this kit installed, you can typically fit up to a 33 x 12.5-inch tire on a 9-inch wide wheel with 5 inches of backspacing, opening up options for more aggressive tire setups. The entire system is made in the USA, and the manufacturer estimates about a 3-hour installation time for those comfortable with DIY projects. This kit is a well-built option for leveling your heavy-duty GM truck.
