Default 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 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.
