Yes all the install info will come in the kit so you are all good. Also we are a installer not just a parts shipper and offer real time install tech help to all our customers so that will help also.
If you upgrade to the Cognito 4" NON torsion bar drop kit then yes those shocks will work.
I want to exdend to you also that when you are ready to put your order together to feel free to call myself or Jeff here and we can help you.

Yes, add pre-load "Crank" up 2" you loose 2" of drop out. Add the Cognito UCA and gain back 2" so in the end no down travel lost.

They put our leveled front ends back into factory travel specs, with full camber adjustment at lift height.
It's sick how other lifts leave you at the limit, I love Cognito products.... too bad they don't love me
Not sure what exactly you mean but we are there largest retailer and distributor for the Cognito product and if you need to purchase product for your business feel free to get with me and I can set you up
I've been looking at the Cognito 4" kit for my next project truck and have a few questions. There is no indication of track width change, do you have a spec for that? I don't want my tires sticking way out of the fender (you guys don"t have to worry about snow and slush spray down there!) I also don't want to run wider flares to compensate, I prefer a cleaner, more subtle look, just a little taller. The Cognito site doesn't have a picture of the kit, can you post one? I'm very interested in their torsion bar linkage that keeps them in the stock position, can't get my head wrapped around how that would work. And finally I would want to do the upper control arm kit with it, am I correct in assuming as long as I install the ball joint in from the top of the arm, it would stay at the 4" lift? Installing it from the bottom and tightening the keys make it a 6"? Lastly, are the Cognito tie rod ends the same as the Fabtech ones? I've seen them, just wondering how they compare. Thanks, Marc.

This was the very first truck to get this NTB drop Cognito kit other than the prototype. There is a ton of info on the lift and to answer your question it has a 1/2" per side push. Very small , here is a picture onf the difference:
As for the Cognito HD tie rods they are not the same as Fab's. They come from different mfg's.
One more question...just out of curiousity, how come you guys striped all the Weekend Warrior decals off of your trailers?
When I bought my WW 5er I had another truck that had everything powder coated Red on the suspension and the trailer had Blue stickers so we took them off. Jeff (middle) just wanted a all white trailer.

Nick, I think you will....
Look at your calendar, we had a cold one on December 7th, it was a circus..... I told you about my love for CHAD. I will call you later this week, cause I intend to take advantage of NOR-CAL. Rock On !
Thanks for the links, very informative and a very impressive system. Those torsion bar links blew my mind, genious. Once the Dodge goes byby and a Gm is back in my garage, I'll be giving you a call, Cheers, Marc.
