Pitman and idler arm wear has been a long-standing issue on Chevy and GMC HD steering systems, especially when lifts and larger tires are added. The Cognito Pitman & Idler Arm Support Kit (PISK) solves this problem using Cognito’s patented design, providing additional support to the pitman and idler arms and eliminating forward and rearward center-link movement.
The result is improved steering precision, reduced wear, and significantly increased durability under real-world driving and off-road conditions.
The Cognito 2-inch Block and U-Bolt Kit includes:
-
2-inch-tall cast steel lift blocks
-
Durable semi-gloss black powder coat
-
Heavy-duty zinc-plated U-bolts for secure clamping
This setup delivers consistent rear ride height while maintaining strength and load-carrying capability.
This kit is completed with King OEM Performance shock upgrade kits, bringing race-winning technology to a daily-driven truck. Each system is extensively tested in real-world conditions to dial in vehicle-specific damping curves and spring rates.
Key performance advantages:
-
Large 2.5-inch diameter shock bodies
-
External reservoirs for increased fluid capacity and heat dissipation
-
Adjustable front ride height
-
Up to 25% increase in front wheel travel
-
Approximately 15% increase in rear wheel travel
Built with the same materials and tight tolerances as King’s high-end race shocks, these dampers deliver the legendary King ride quality on-road, off-road, and under load. They are also fully serviceable and re-valvable, allowing fine-tuning with simple hand tools.
