So I need to replace both upper and lower ball joints on my truck as well as the hub bearing on the passenger side. Truck is a '13 Z71 1500 and currently has 100,000 miles. Has had a CCM 2.5" level on it since about 10,000 miles. I know I've seen some guys use the Cognito UCA's to level their trucks without using a leveling kit at all. I guess my question is should I do away with the 2.5" CCM kit and use the Cognito kit alone for leveling or can I keep the CCM kit and run it with the Cognitos? And are the Cognitos worth it for the $500 they cost? The truck is equipped with the factory Rancho shocks as well if this helps.

yes they will fit, but since i posted that, i since had an issue with them. The ball joints completely failed by 15k, and cognitio refused to warranty them, even after showing them a vid of the ball joints and angles of the suspension. Threw the worn ball joints in the trash and sold the UCAs.

Cognito’s warranty is garbage and a scam. I’d go to alligator performance (I think it is) and get their ball joints. I needed to replace one cognito ball joint at around 10-12k miles and they give you this laundry list of things you need to provide to them and then I did. They gave me more things I need to go (pics & video) then they said I needed to ship the part to them for review. Complete bullshit because this is my daily driver. They just want people to not utilize the warranty.

exactly, its a fairly common issue, and after more research there are lots of posts on the forum about it, but when you complain they act likes its a new issue, i drop $600+ on better UCAs i expect the balljoints to last longer than OEM ones do.
after 140k (40k w/ lift) my original uca's are shot; bushings and ball joint mount holes. I've had to tackweld in the last set of ball joints twice this year :naughty: I have a 6" spindle lift, but the ball joint angle isn't great. I haven't had many alignment issues so far. wendy's lunch time surveyzop.com
