The Cognito Motorsports 12-Inch Performance Lift Kit delivers a complete suspension upgrade for 2020-2022 Silverado and Sierra 2500/3500 trucks in both 2WD and 4WD configurations. This comprehensive kit combines premium Cognito components with Fox 2.0 Performance Series Remote Reservoir shocks to provide exceptional lift height, improved ride quality, and enhanced off-road capability.
Advanced Front Suspension System:
The front lift system achieves 12 inches of lift while maintaining proper CV joint angles and superior ride quality. The SM Series Ball Joint Upper Control Arms feature boxed sheet metal construction with CNC robot welding and semi-gloss black powder coating. These arms correct ball joint angles for lifted applications and improve droop travel, resulting in better suspension articulation. The kit includes forged torsion bar keys, SM Series compression struts, and stainless steel braided brake lines for enhanced braking performance.
Patented Steering Support Technology:
Cognito's innovative Pitman and Idler Arm Support Kit (PISK) addresses common steering wear issues found in GM trucks. This patented design provides additional support to the pitman and idler arms, eliminating the forward and rearward movement of the center-link that causes premature wear in factory and aftermarket steering systems.
Fox 2.0 Performance Series Shocks:
The included Fox 2.0 PSRR (Performance Series Remote Reservoir) shocks feature factory-tuned precision valving and extruded aluminum bodies for superior heat dissipation. The remote reservoir design eliminates oil aeration, ensuring consistent damping performance during demanding on-road and off-road use.
Premium Rear Suspension Components:
The Deaver leaf spring pack completely replaces the OEM rear springs and provides 4 inches of lift over stock. Engineered with high-quality spring steel and a higher leaf count using thinner material, these springs deliver a compliant ride while supporting heavy loads. The included Cognito 5-inch block and heavy-duty zinc-plated U-bolt kit brings total rear lift to 9 inches, properly leveling the vehicle front to rear.
