They are awesome..... I knew i had a little play in the right inner tie rod, after putting just the idler arm support in i found play in the left outer that i couldnt feel 20 minutes before i put the support bracket in....

 

Yeah, the Cognito pitman and idler arm supports are nice. Make sure to you have the shop check clearance lock to lock. I had to space my sway bar down about 1/4"-1/2" to get the supports to clear with the steering wheel fully turned.

 

What brand lift are you running??

 

Found the problem! So when I put the old set of tires(when they were new) with the new wheels on it I thought the vibration was caused by my wheels needing a hub bore ring. So I had that shop put some on because they just happened to have the right size in stock. Well that entire time I was fighting with what I thought was a tire balance issue It was really the shop had put the wrong size hub bore ring on.

Well after 3 hours of my new faviorite shop working on it they finnaly realized it was the rings. They removed it and bam! Perfect!

They had my truck and spent 3 hours working on it and never charged me a dime! Awesome customer service so I left went and got them 2 18packs because I just didnt feel right having them spend so much time and work on another shops mistakes.


As far as the cognito install goes. I guess I ordered the 2500-3500 kit so one of the supports is totally different. Got the pitman arm support on and it feels a little tighter hoping the company will do a trade with me and I caan finish it up next weekend maybe!

 

Sounds like it was a set of hd supports you ordered the idler arms are same as 1500s but pitman arms are different

 

Glad you got the vibration fixed..... Figured it was something with the wheels/tires

 

As far as sway bar clearance i ended up flipping my sway bar and going back to stock length and style end links to clear the inner tie rods lock to lock....the right inner was hitting my sway bar have pics in my thread somewhere...

 

So glad I can drive without my teeth chattering anymore! The order mistake was totally my fault I feel dumb but my new idler pivot isnt here yet so I will wait for both before I do anything. Really just want my coilovers to hurry up!!!!!

Thanks for all the trouble shooting help!

 

Was it the idler or the pitman that was wrong???

 

Glad you solved the vibration problem.

I've got a Rough County NTD lift on my truck. It left my sway bar in the factory location and used longer sway bar end links. I'm not sure why I had clearance issues with the Cognito braces. I installed them at the same time as the lift so I had the axle, crossmember and a bunch of other things off the truck so it was easy to access the sway bar. I just grabbed some scrap steel I had laying around, cut it to the size of the sway bar mount, and drilled a couple holes in it. That gave me the clearance I needed so I never called Cognito to ask their opinion.
