Finally leveled with Cognitos
Finally got around to getting Cognitos and leveling the front end. I cheated and went to Total Auto Pros in Phoenix. They got me the shocks for $80 each (vs $85 at Trail Duty), 1 hours of labor at $85 and an alignment. They did a great job, knocking out everything in about 90 minutes including a road test. Did a couple of quick measurements and it looks like it's 24" from center of wheel to fender. Measured the sliders and the front is 1/2" lower than the rear over that 6' span so there's still a bit of forward lean.
I tried to do a comparo in one photo but my photoshop skills suck. New first, old second. You'll have to scroll to compare.
Haven't notice a difference in ride yet, maybe a little less brake dive than before. Of course I've only put about 30 miles on so it's hard to tell. Nonetheless, it looks better!

Looks good! I have my numbers from when I did mine Josh if you need them.

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.
