Question 2" leveling kit problem

I installed 2" leveling spacers on the front of my truck, and occasionally get a popping sound when turning. Everything is tight, and it sounds like it is coming from the steering arm. any ideas?

You prolly need new shocks up front. The sound you are hearing might be them bottoming out.

Mine did the same thing with the factory shocks. I highly recommend the Rancho RS9000x's. IMO the truck rides better than stock with 35's and 2" Daystars.

mine would do that just sitting still when i put my leveling kit on. I had someone turn the wheel back and forth while i was underneath and seen that it was the pittman arm from the steering box. Once I had it aligned, i had no more problems.

shocks

I already have Rancho 9000's, Its not the shocks. It does sound like it is coming from the pitman arm, But I have had it aligned. Does anyone make a 2" dropped pitman arm?
