Cognito 1 - inch Performance Ball Joint Leveling Kit w/ Fox PS Coilovers 2.0 IFP Shocks

Thankyou!
Yes did the mudflap delete and it came out great.
Wheels- Icon Hulse 18x9 0 offset
Tires- Nitto Terra grapplers 295/70R18
Yeah the RC mudflad delete kit is nice! I like your combo, how much lift did you gain from that 1.75" kit?

any chance you can get a measurement from the center of the wheel to the fender? I did a similar lift and I’ve been getting some very bad bump steer or wandering right now.
I am currently at:
Front is 24"
Rear is 25"

This kit netted me 1" of lift on the front. Mine rides great, better than stock and I am not experiencing any bump steer or wandering. What kit did you install? Maybe the alignment?
 

I’ll get some measurements here in a bit but I’ve switched things out a few times after my steering started feeling like this.

This is what I started out with 6112’s and 5100’s out back using BDS UCA’s. After installing I noticed the front didn’t lift at all so I used bottom spacers so lift it another inch. Well this rode good but the front fell really firm. I eventually removed the spacer and changed my UCA’s to rough country’s as well as the BDS were real close to my tires. I removed the rear spacer and installed a 1” so the truck looked leveled. This is when I felt the suspension start feeling loose or like it followed the road a lot.

I changed back to the original setup but using the RC UCA’s and it still didn’t fix the issue. I took it to get aligned over 5 different places and still the same. I ordered Ready Lift UCA’s and hoped it was the RC’s but nothing chnaged.

I reverted back to the original setup using BDS UCA’s and the 6112/5100 with the inch spacer in the front and the wandering stayed the same.

On new years I switched over to Eibach coilover system with BDS UCA’s. The suspension is soft but better than the ranchos and it’s softer then the 6112’s for sure. The only issue is it still has that feel of following the road and the front suspension feeling like it fights against itself. Like it wobbles side to side or like something is loose. Kind of like wondering around. I’ve tightened all the suspension and steering comports already and nothing has changed.

I’m thinking of taking it to the dealer but I would have to stock it out and align it and see if that problem still exists.

Do you happen to have the spec sheet from your alignment?

Dang that is a lot you are going through. I know the after market UCAs at least I have read that the Cognito ones I am running increase Caster which "Should" improve straight line stability and control. I am probably going to add these RC lower strut spacers and I will let you know what it does to my ride. I am hoping that it really doesn't change the dampening but just helps net me another 3/4" to an 1" so that I'm closer to level. I have done nothing to the rear so far except the new Fox 2.0 shocks.

Yeah the BDS supposedly give it 1-2 degrees of caster too that’s why I went and changed them out again as the alignment shop said it more likely needed some more caster.
 

I just asked the guy who did my alignment and he does not have my spec sheet. :unsure:
Dang. I need to find someone in the DFW area that’s done theirs so I can try going there. Here is mine. All I can think of is that I might need a bit of negative camber.
