Re: Pittman and Idlers Arms shot
Cognito has 3 parts: support kit, pivot kit, and uniball upper control arm kit. The pivot kit requires minor cutting & welding. The rest are bolt-on. I chose to install all 3 (on good oem idler & pivot), because I also installed Suspension MAXX leveling kit (torsion key) & rear coil spacer (along with Fabtech tie-rods, steering stabilizer & Bilstein shocks) to raise my truck abt 2" to fit 37" Toyo MT without rubbing & a bit more clearance for rock-crawling.
While some had better-than-stock ride after, I have a bit more problems. The truck wonders in freeway speeds, and the ride is harsher than stock. But the Cognito components supposed to protect the idler/pitman for the long run, and I simply LOVE the 2" raise & bigger tires look on my H2.
FYI, you can fit 37" BFG AT & 37" MT/Rs bone stock with only minor rubbing. The Toyo's are bigger/closer to true 37" & is 13.5" wide which rubs like a bitc*h.
But if you're not rock-crawling, I would stick to just the Cognito support kit, Fabtech tie-rod & steering stabilizer, on good oem idler/pitman (if covered under warranty), or Moog if buying aftermarket.
Or you can leave everthing stock and just replace idler/pitman occassionally as I did for 4 years..
