Got a debacle

[meekrog]

Ok so i got my lift on and all that jazz and the first time i went out to play i put it in 4 high and got some weird vibrations in the front end accompanied by a wicked popping sound. Put it back in 2 high and it was fine. Just curious as to whether or not anyone has any idea as to what i should tear apart first.

I had the same thing happen to me. Does you truck have auto locking hubs? I believe that was my problem, the auto hubs weren't engaging and disengaging properly. Took it apart and reassembled it and all seems fine now. I'm sure the gurus here will have the answer to what and why. btw, are you thai or do you just have a screenname that sounds like tasty dish I've had in bangkok?

Which lift did you put on?

[meekrog]

Rough country uca's up front, jgc coils in the rear. shocks all the way around and also did 3 inchs of body a while back.

sorry if you already go this base covered but did you get it aligned after you lifted it?

'K....the driveshaft hasn't moved, so it's not that. Check your CV axles. Are the torsion bars cranked too far up? You have to leave SOME down-travel.
