Looks great.  Are you keeping the tires or getting bigger? Do you know off hand how much it knocked off your original alignment?

Looks good. My guess is that bigger tires are in his future.

yep, tires are next, maybe with the tax return. I have mixed feelings on the different sizes, may just do 33s as I don't like the extra weight/stress of the 35s. Didn't get the alignment numbers - just let them do everything while I ate my breakfast.

Way to go Bro!!! We will, of course, expect a ride update after a couple of weeks of driving.
Nose dive while braking was one of my concerns, as is nose lift when you get in the gas a bit. I would like to dampen those both down as much as possible. Please give us some feedback later. Thanks.

About three weeks ago I leveled my H3 using the stock keys. I also ordered the Cognitos about the same time, but had a little delay in receiving the shocks. So I drove around a bit with the lift and stock shocks before installing the Cognitos. Unfortunately, I didn't do any real offroading during this time to provide any feedback. But here is what I noticed as far as highway driveability:
* Leveled and stock shocks: I noticed a bit more nose dive on hard braking and maybe a little more lift during hard acceleration. I also noticed a little more pronounced "feel" through the streering wheel on rougher pavement. No complaints on open highway w/ smooth roads.
* Leveled w/ Cognitos: There is a definite improvement in ride quality. The nose diving and lifting has improved. MUCH smoother feel on rough pavement.
NOTE: I did notice when I removed the old stock shocks that there was a little oily moisture on both shocks. Not bad, but enough that made me wonder if they were starting to leak a little. If this was the case, then there is no question that new shocks would be an improvement to my overall ride quality.
I am happy with the leveling and the Cognitos. I did all the work, so this only cost me $170 (cost of shocks). Now I am waiting patiently for my stock (265) tires to need upgrading!!
