Ready to buy new front end- Need a couple quick answers

[pdxrealtor]

I'm going all MOOG.

Idler
Idler Pivot
Pitman
Lower ball joints, only because I ripped the boot on one side
Timken Hubs

I'm running stock sized tires with 8.5" Rockstar rims (+offset w/in HUMMER spec)

Should I get the Cognito support kit?

Pitman arm- are all H2's a 3 groove?

Need to order tonight ASAP so any input is greatly appreciated!

[pdxrealtor]

Well.... Ya'll weren't quick enough so I ordered both the 3 and 4 groove and will send one back.

I ended up ordering from Rock Auto. Even before the coupon code of 8DC7D212FF36 gave me 5% off it was still cheaper than ordering from Amazon.

Still need to know opinions on the Cognito kit. Now's the time.

Yep, order the support kit. That damn front end needs all the help you can give it, even with the stock size tires.

[pdxrealtor]

Cool. Thx for advice.

Anyone else care to reinforce this 225 dollar purchase?

[H2Much]

$225 is a steal man if you are getting everything for that. What was your final list again? I need to upgrade my front end too....

[pdxrealtor]

LOL.. that did look confusing didn't it.

I was referring to JUST the purchase of the Cognito support kit... it's 225.00.

All the parts listed, minus the Cognito support kit, came to 646.00. Got it all from Rock Auto with the 5% off coupon.

What he said. You're going to be in there doing the work anyway, or at least having someone do it for you. Might as well get the support kit and be done with it.

You definately want to double capture that link.

Sucks that this has to be done at 50k without the need for another 225.00 part. I should have just ordered cheaper idler/pitman to help pay for the support kit.

Good Lord
