2006 GMC Sierra - Up,Up,And Away!

2006 Gmc Sierra Paint Dried
Once the paint had dried, the idler pivot assembly was bolted into place utilizing the supplied Grade-8 hardware.
2006 Gmc Sierra Beefing Up Steering Wheel
Further beefing up of the steering required the pitman/idler arm support kit. A healthy steel plate mounts to each pivot and a heim goes around the shafts. The secret to making the whole setup mount back to the factory steering center link is the shank nuts.
2006 Gmc Sierra Completed Steering Additions
A view from the bottom of the completed steering additions gives you a good idea of how the whole assembly goes together.
2006 Gmc Sierra Cognito Crossmember
The rear Cognito crossmember was slid into the rear lower control-arm mounts and held in place with the factory lower control-arm bolts.
2006 Gmc Sierra Half Inch Crossmembers
After holding up the forward of the two crossmembers, marks were made for the 1/2-inch holes necessary to accommodate these inserts. Once they had been drilled, the hardware was dropped into place.
2006 Gmc Sierra Lower Control Arm Bolts
Back into position, the crossmember received the stock lower control-arm bolts and the additional Grade-8 hardware. More bolts to the frame creates better strength and support for your truck.
2006 Gmc Sierra Color Of Undercarriage
The color sure stood out, as compared to the factory undercarriage. We couldn't wait to keep moving forward.
2006 Gmc Sierra Rear Cross Member
Next was Cognito's differential mount, it was mounted to the factory frame mount and......the rear crossmember. If you are catching the drift, everything mounted to the frame and the crossmembers are what kept the whole thing tied in as a unit.
2006 Gmc Sierra Painting Rear Crossmember
After painting the driver side shaft with some satin black, to hide the factory rust, the front differential was set back into the truck.
2006 Gmc Sierra On The Bench
On the bench, Norcal Truck assembled the Cognito upper control arms with polyurethane bushings and zerk fittings.
2006 Gmc Sierra Ball Joints Cinched
Once the ball joints were cinched to the manufacturer's specs, they were ready to go on.
2006 Gmc Sierra Alignment Cams
Factory bolts and alignment cams were slid in and left loose.
