Cognito 20-25 Chevy Silverado/ GMC Sierra 2500/3500HD 3in Standard SM Series Leveling Kit

Cognito is known for making solid suspension components for trucks, and this 3-inch Standard SM Series Leveling Kit for your 2020-2025 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD or GMC Sierra 2500/3500 HD is no exception. If you're looking to level out the stance of your heavy-duty truck, this kit offers a straightforward way to achieve that while maintaining good ride quality. It's designed to work with your truck's independent front suspension (IFS) and reuses your factory shocks.

This kit includes Cognito's SM Series upper control arms, which are crucial for correcting the ball joint angle after the lift is applied, especially when you're adding droop travel. You also get torsion bar adjuster keys that let you fine-tune the front ride height to match the rear. For those who carry extra weight in the bed, like a toolbox or auxiliary fuel tank, a 1-inch block and U-bolt kit is included to help bring the rear ride height back up to stock levels. The front shock spacer kit helps set the optimal droop stop point, and Cognito engineers this kit to maintain at least 3 inches of droop travel, which is key to keeping a comfortable ride. The installation is estimated to take about 4 hours for a DIYer.

While this kit addresses the front lift and rear leveling, Cognito highly recommends adding their pitman and idler arm support kit. This is because the increased tie rod angles from a leveling kit can put extra stress on those components in IFS trucks with this steering setup, and the support kit helps prevent premature wear.
