8" 2019-2024 Chevy Silverado 1500 Elite Lift Kit (w/Fox 2.5 Performance Elite Coilovers & Shocks) by Cognito

Upgrade your Chevy Silverado 1500 2WD/4WD with the Cognito 210-P1223 8" Elite Lift Kit. This kit is designed to provide exceptional performance and ride quality using high-quality, USA-engineered components. It allows for the fitment of larger-diameter tires (up to 37-inch diameter) for a more aggressive look and improved off-road performance.

Cognito components are engineered, manufactured, and assembled in the USA, ensuring top-notch quality. The Cognito Front Lift Kit is designed to deliver superior ride quality and corrected CV joint angles for enhanced vehicle handling. This kit features an integrated skid plate that securely connects the front and rear cross members, providing exceptional front-end rigidity. Custom-fabricated spindles (steering knuckles) will correct steering geometry.

The Cognito Ball Joint SM Series Upper Control Arms enhance style, function, and performance by correcting the ball joint angle for lifted and leveled applications. This adjustment improves droop travel, leading to a smoother ride. The control arms are constructed from boxed sheet metal, CNC robot welded, and finished with a semi-gloss black powder coating. The kit includes ball joints, new crush sleeves, and polyurethane bushings.

In the rear, Deaver brand leaf springs replace the rear lift OEM springs, providing 6 inches of lift while maintaining excellent ride quality. This is achieved through high-quality spring steel construction with a higher leaf count for a more compliant ride. 

The Fox 2.5 Performance Elite coilovers and shocks boast Type III anodization, safeguarding the 2.5-inch aluminum bodies from corrosion and wear. The addition of external reservoirs significantly increases oil capacity, eliminates dead space within the shock body, and reduces the harshness often associated with nitrogen build-up. Cooler shock temperatures, increased travel, and consistent damping forces result.

Performance Elite DSC Adjusters

Each reservoir has a dual-speed compression (DSC) adjuster that allows you to dial in high-speed and low-speed compression settings. With the DSC adjusters, you can swiftly tailor your shocks to suit different loads, environmental conditions, and your preferred driving style. Adjust is made simply by turning the low or high speeds dials to your desired settings (10 low-speed settings, 12 high-speed settings). Meanwhile, the high-flow piston ensures stability across various terrains. FOX shocks are meticulously engineered to accommodate various activities, allowing you to unlock your truck's full potential on your next adventure.

The Cognito HD front sway bar is designed to reduce body roll, improving vehicle control and traction for safer driving. This heavy-duty sway bar, developed specifically for this application, measures 1.5 inches in diameter and is made from heat-treated and hot-formed 4140 chromoly steel for extra strength and durability. The kit includes larger sway bar clamps and polyurethane bushings.
