Wow... thanks a ton for posting a link to that particular thread. I have a shopping list that has a lot of Cognito parts on it, including the PISK2008 (pitman/idler support kit), but now learning of the difficulties that you and others have had with this kit, and Cognito in general, I am left at a crossroads.
My shopping list is (was?):
UCAK100001 (front end level kit) (or UCAK100044 (H2 Uni-ball Upper Control Arms))
BILSTEIN-BE5-E381-T0 (longer-than-stock shocks for use with UCAK100001)
SBELKHD-1000 (end-links for use with UCAK100001)
PISK2008 (pitman/idler support kit)
IPAWG8 (Idler Pivot kit)
TRK100045 (tie rods)
I wasn't planning to buy any spare tie-rods yet since I don't know if, post installation, the tie-rod will then be the weak point that fails. I am fairly inexperienced and compiled that list after much research on this forum and others so I am again thankful to you for posting that link to further my education (and complicate my shopping  ).
