Default Re: Leveling First...Cognitos Later...Any Issues?

I should maybe start a new thread, but I'm in a hurry. Bilstien Cognito Report:
So I got two silver shiny shocks now dressing up the otherwise subdued undercarriage. They look sweet. I haven't been to the alignment shop...yet, but scheduled for next Mon. The ride is definately stiffer in the front with the t-bars cranked up 3.5 turns +/- ea side. It is still about 1/2 - 3/4" shy of level in the front and on level ground. On road with the bilstiens still a bit rough over stock, but tolerable. Lowered bumpstops would make a huge difference in a minor amount of swaying. The nose also "lifts off" a little during launch from a stoplight, but I drive a manual and am relatively aggressive. Now the good part--Off road. Kicks A$$. Took them on some really steep rutted hillclimbs, and it seemed to track really well, fire roads are confidence inspiring (see "turning off stability assist" and "hanging the a$$ end out"). Overall, the upgrade seems to be worth the money spent, but still wish I could make the front end a little more supple on the street. Thoughts?
