Peak (2.25 lift height)

[ICE_ZR2]

I’m planning to install peak 2.25 with sway bar relocation and UCA but i’m confused between BAJA KIT and new peak billet UCA.
Any suggestions?

If you use your truck more for daily driving, I'd stay away from any UCA with solid (uniball or heim joints) mounting points. Those type of mounting systems will make for a harsher ride. If you're a serious off-roader and plan on doing regular maintenance to keep those joints clean and don't mind sacrificing ride quality for suspension performance, then both of those billet UCAs are excellent choices. For the people like me, that do more on road than off-road driving I'd stick to either a Dirt King or Cognito UCA with a ball joint and either polyurethane (Cognito) or Probearing SilentSpin bushings (Dirt King). As far as the Peak 2.25" lift, in my opinion that is an outstanding kit when paired with the Dirt King or Cognito ball joint UCAs.

I've had the Peak 2.25 lift with both Cognito (on my 2022 ZR2) and Dirt King (on my 2024 ZR2) ball joint UCAs and can tell you there is no sacrifice in ride quality. And, you'll still get the same amount of suspension travel as the uniball mount UCAs.

No i’m not going to off road that much most of the time highway.
So your suggestion to keep out of this UCAs and go with dirt king to get good ride.

Either Dirt King or Cognito ball joint UCA.

I will eco @The_Q s statements, solid advice. Billet arms look so good, but I wanted to stay with bushings and ball joints so I went with boxed cognito arms on my truck. That dirt king gold looks beside the multimatics though!

But both Peak and Baja Kits are solid companies. The peak arms are too new to have much feedback on them but they have been doing tubular arms and billet colorado arms for a while so they should have it figured out.

I just noticed that Dirt King also makes a billet UCA with ProBearing bushings and ball joints that might be just what you’re looking for:

I didn’t notice that UCA,
I think that will be the best option.

I send to them
Unfortunately they will release it after few months.

Oh, maybe that’s why I haven’t seen them before. Bummer, they look sweet

Those would look really nice with the Multimatic DSSV shocks!

I ordered from them some stuff for international shipping by email
But I had some problems with them
1- they answered the emails after long time
2- when they send me the invoice some wrong items
3- when I asked them for discount I told them the blue garage followers they ignored my email and my order and they didn’t come back to me until now.
So i was thinking about new UCA from them but now no because I worried about after market services.
i don’t like the customer service

Sometimes things take longer than expected. We are on the west coast of the state and we are dealing Wild fires, 100+ MPH winds and power outages for the past few weeks. If you’re having trouble getting a hold of someone it’s not because they are not interested in your business. We just have a lot of things going on right now and we appreciate everyone patience.

If you need a Discount code DM on Instagram and I have an actually working code.

Are any of you familiar with this "known GM" wobble issue with using Auto (4WD) when having a +/- 2" lift on our trucks?
Having an issue with it myself and a local suspension show says it's a known issue that nobody knowns what it is. I find that hard to believe.

 

[ZR2BIZON]

Where were you last month @ZR2CHRIS22
I'm all out if allowance money now.

According to Peak, this isn't a problem with their 2.25" lift kit.

This is the first time I’m hearing about this issue. I’ve been running Peak parts for two years now and have never experienced any problems or heard of anyone else having this issue.
