Question: Who has the best

4" Tough Country on the LMM.
Here it is when I got it put on around 20,000 miles....110,000 now and no problems with anything.
Congnito braces and HD tie rods.
What size of tires and wheels are on that? And is that with the torsion bars turned down all the way? I am on a quest of having perfect cv angles and no tire rub.
Cognito for quality hands down. One of the most durable lifts around, especially with all the steering upgrades they make as well.
I have ran a ProComp kit and it was fine but Cognito is probably the nicest economical kit. I say that in respect for the really high dollar ones like Rise etc. If I were to do another lift it would be a Cognito.

All my customers buy Tuff Country from me for pulling trucks. There are other kits that might look a little more sexy but i believe the TC works the best for pulling.
I don't think any other 4" lift out there functions as well as a tough country lift. There are torsion bar kits available if you dont want to run a drop bracket. I installed one on a 04 4 or 5 years ago with custom deaver leafs in the rear, rancho 9000xl shocks, all the steering fixes, and it has not worn through 1 more part to this day. Normal ride height with 34"tires is 6" higher than stock
I'm thinking of dropping my Full Throttle 12inch lift for a 4-6 inch so I can possible install a 5th wheel. So I am very interested in this thread. I tend to believe you get what you pay for in life, so what is it that makes the Cognito a "better" lift? In looking at the instructions it appears as though the Cognito does not drop the upper a arm and instead provides taller knuckes. I like the idea of a NTBD, but would like to know from people with experience. I don't plan on pulling. Are there restrictions on the Cognito tire/wheel combo because of the taller knuckle and if so, how much or how bad? Thanks and pardon the hi-jack/pile on.
What is it that you love about it? Are there restrictions on the wheel tire combo? I'd like to keep my Weld 20s
Cognito is better than most because of their supporting options that can be added to their kits. I run the 9-11" kit on mine and it is a very durable kit from an engineering standpoint. Their tubular upper control arm is awesome and takes the harsh angle off the upper ball joint, and you can also purchase the heavy duty tie rods and idler/pit man arm braces. They basically cover all of the weak points with their kits. I have ran fabtech and rcd before with no prob in the past, but the cognito kits are far more durable and by far the best IMO .
Sweet. I'm looking to drop down from a 12 inch Full Throttle with UCAs,all heim joint linkage, leaf springs, etc. and I need to get it down to about 4 inches to put a 5th wheel in it.
