Leveled 2500HD ZR2

I've never bottomed mine out and it rides better then anything I've ever been in. I dont even bother with speed bumps just roll on over them.

I hit a 1+ foot drop off coming into a construction zone at 55-60 mph on the freeway towing 12k lbs trailer near Raton Pass, Colorado. I got three huge bounces out of that and kept it off the jersey barriers on a slight curve. The suspension and air bags ate that shit up like it wasn't even there.

Most people would have pissed and shit themselves and piled it up. For me it was just another day of offroafing on the freeway.
 
Axe thats great lol! I was worried about droop and all that. Im actually getting my tires and work done in about 2 weeks. I am heavily considering the Cognito upper control arms kit which includes there control arms, the Cognito Pitman and Idler Arm Support Kit, and there dssv shock extenders. Supposed to correct and improve upon some things.


However im thinking ill just hold off on that kit and see how she does with the 37" tires, aev clearance kit and .65" spacers(should take factory wheels to +16 look).

I've ran Cognito kits in the past and always had good luck and the teucks rode well. For the money, it's probably worth it. I know a few guys that had harsh front end rides and did the extenders. It certainly won't hurt. I didn't do it with the stock tires cause I just thought it rode so well, I wouldn't mess with it.

I'm still considering going to 37s, but I'm getting too old for cool and I don't use it for hard core offroading, so I may just keep it the way it is because it drives and tows so well now.

Yeah im with you brother. Im hitting 20k miles in 6 months of ownership and am just looking to "up grade", I can't leave anything alone lol. Curiosity always get the best of me. I was going to go with a "cool" tire but honestly im a highway cowboy mostly with some wet mud driving on the farm. Ive settled on the new 37" (36.5) Nitto Terra Grappler G3. Everything ive read said there probably gonna check every box but the "supper cool" mud/ RT look. Im after more functional then looks at this point, however doing it in a 37" might cover both bases. They do look cool to me
