Details

We have bundled everything you need in a leveling kit for your Silverado/Sierra 1500 2WD/4WD with high quality Cognito components.

There is no guesswork. Cognito components are engineered, manufactured and assembled in the USA. The Cognito 3 Inch Performance Ball Joint Leveling Lift Kit includes the Cognito Ball Joint SM Series Upper Control Arm Kit, Elka Performance Series Coilover front shocks, Elka Performance Series rear shocks and 2 Inch Block and U Bolt kit- all with hardware included.

The Cognito Ball Joint SM Series Upper Control Arms add style, function and performance to your vehicle by improving the allowable droop travel for a better ride quality. The control arm kit features boxed sheet metal arms that are CNC robot welded and powder coated semi-gloss black.

Press in ball joints are pre-installed and retained with black anodized, Cognito branded laser etched caps. New crush sleeves and polyurethane bushings are included. The Cognito Ball Joint SM Series Upper Control Arms provide ample droop travel that is required for good ride quality and all suspension components to last and work properly.

The Elka 2.0 shocks feature an Internal Floating Piston design and provide better attenuation of vibration, leading to major noise reduction in the cabin (much less squeak and rattle), damping characteristics optimized for each truck and setup, providing a smoother ride. Increased comfort in both on road and off-road conditions, especially over washboard and square-edge impacts, more stable and more predictable handling, reduced front-end diving when cornering or braking reduced rear-end bucking and lifting, and increased damping and spring rate for better handling when towing or loading truck.

The Cognito 2 Inch Block and U Bolt Kit includes 2 Inch tall powder coated semi-gloss black cast steel blocks and heavy-duty zinc plated U Bolts and the 1.5 Inch Rear Bump Stop Spacers are constructed out of aluminum.

Tire Fitment

    Nice kit
    Everything in the kit was very nice and came well packaged.

    It took about 4 hours to install everything on jackstands. As another reviewer said, the 23mm needed for the u-bolts required me to buy a socket, as it's very uncommon, but not a big deal.
    The truck rides great and sits level.
    I went less aggressive with 33x12.5x18, with -18 offset so obviously no fitment problems.

    Excellent quality
    Looks and rides much better than stock . Went with the Deaver mini pack in the back over the blocks and overall very impressed with the package as a whole Elka shoks are super smooth. Used 35x12.5 R18 AT3's with 0mm offset and some trimming to get no rub lock to lock. Customer service throughout the order/shipping process was also stellar.

    The kit was installed on my 2022 refresh elevation and I have approx 15k miles on kit. The performance was notably better and still feels incredibly smooth thru all driving terrain conditions.

    Great look, easy install
    Everything went as advertised. Only issue was the supplied U Bolts use a 23mm nut. Don’t know anyone who has a 23mm socket. Had to replace them with a 5/8 18 grade 8 that had a common size (24mm). I am a so so mechanic, and install took me about 5 hours with no major hiccups.
Product Questions
Question
Will my cv axle angles be compromised/at risk if I were to install this kit? Thanks!
Answer
Hi Toby, You will not have any issue with your CV axle angles or wear from running any of our kits. Part of our engineering process is to insure we do not have those kinds of issues.
Question
Other leveling kits warn not to use 4WD Hi Auto after installing their kits. Does this warning apply to your 3 inch leveling kit on my 2022 Silverado, Crew cab, RST, 5.3 application? Thanks
Answer
Hi Greg, Installation of this kit will not impact your ability to use 4WD in any way. Most kits that have such a warning are running too much CV axle angle which impacts your ability to use 4WD safely.
Question
Can you supplement a 2" rear block to keep the current rake or is that not recommended ?
Answer
Hi jDogg, You can supplement for the 2" block if you'd like more rake. Please reach out to our customer service team if you'd like to move forward.
Question
Will this kit work with the mono lift spring.
Answer
Hi Britton, Unfortunately, it will not work on the mono-leaf. All the leveling kits will work, you would have to convert it to a conventional leaf spring to lift the rear.
Question
Will this kit work on a 23 1500 diesel 3.0
Answer
Hi Jose, Yes, all our kits are compatible with the 1500 Duramax.
