2"-3"

Anyone running a 2-3" lift on their truck? Are they a waste of time and money or are they good. I don't want a big lift on my truck, but do want a small lift on it. TIA

I personally put on the cognito UCAs, cranked my torsions and put rear lift blocks on. It was a good investment. You dont always have to change your torsion keys out. Most of the time you can get the lift you need with the stock ones. Here are a couple of pics of my truck:

If it were me, I'd do the cogito 4" front lift with 2" blocks in the back. The reason I like the cognito 4" is that when you are done you cv angles are correct (less wear).

My two cents,

true, I would have done that, but i needed upper balljoints (UCAs dont come with the kit) so i went with the UCAs. My angles arent bad. Most lifts are that way though...just use lift blocks on the rear.
