Rear shocks? Depending on what kind you used they may need washers at the top Need a little more info as to what you used |

Used the Rocky Road Outfitters Rockfather 2 delux lift. All new springs and shocks and upper front control arms. The sound is like a cluncking rattleing sound even when driving down the road on a level street at any speed.

Oh you used the dreaded RRO lift Not sure what rear shocks they are using now, used to be whatever the cheapest they could find. Unless you ordered the OME 132Ls if they are OMEs then you have the stock length ones which would cause issues |

Yes they are the OME shocks and springs. So does this lift have issues? |

The OME lift does not have issues BUT RRO does Do you know if you have the 132 rear shocks or the 132Ls ?? If the 132s they are too short when lifted since they are stock length and could be topping out and making noise. Check the numbers on them. Also check the rear tri link and make sure the bushings and ball joints are good on it |

Thank you for pointing me toward the shocks. Here's what I found. After having my mechanic friend get under the jeep I rocked the jeep and he heard the clunking sound. After investigating we found the top shock bolts needing to be tightened down a little more. Did that and after a test ride all is quiet. Thanks again.
