Cognito 11-19 Chevy/GMC Silverado/Sierra 2500/3500 HD 2WD/4WD 7in Premier Lift Kit w/ Elka 2.5

If you're looking to give your 2011-2019 Chevrolet Silverado or GMC Sierra 2500 HD or 3500 HD a significant lift, this Cognito 7-inch Premier Lift Kit with Elka 2.5 shocks is a comprehensive solution. This kit bundles all the necessary Cognito components, engineered and manufactured in the USA, to provide a substantial lift while also focusing on improving your truck's on-road comfort and off-road capability. It’s designed to correct suspension geometry, including CV joint angles, for a smoother ride and better handling after lifting.

At the heart of this kit are the Elka 2.5 Performance Series Remote Reservoir shocks, which feature an aluminum body for better cooling and are compression adjustable to fine-tune your ride. They are built to handle tough conditions while maintaining a comfortable on-road feel. The kit also includes Cognito's SM Series Upper Control Arms, which are boxed, CNC robot welded, and powder-coated semi-gloss black. These arms correct ball joint angles for lifted applications and increase droop travel for improved ride quality. You'll also find Cognito's patented Pitman and Idler Arm Support Kit, designed to eliminate common steering system wear issues by providing extra support. For reduced body roll and improved traction, a 1.5-inch diameter HD front sway bar made from heat-treated 4140 chromoly steel is included, along with larger clamps and polyurethane bushings. The rear lift is achieved with 4-inch cast steel blocks and heavy-duty U-bolts.

This kit yields a 7-inch front lift and a 4-inch rear lift, leveling the vehicle from front to rear. It also includes extended stainless steel brake lines. While the manufacturer estimates a 16-hour DIY installation time, professional installation is recommended for complex suspension modifications like this.
