did any one who installed the rusty's spacer lift have any problems with the rear making a smacking noise. the sound reminds me of loose strut mount that you would hear on the front of a car. i checked the shock spring and spacer and they seem to be fine. although only one side is making the noise when i go over bumps in the road. any ideas????

I DID TAKE OFF THE REAR SWAY BAR, I'M NOT SURE IF THAT WOULD AFFECT ANYTHING SINCE I DID THE SPACERS NOT THE COILS

No swaybar won't cause this noise. I would guess that it's the classic rusty rear shocks not fitting super tight. If you did the install yourself you can add a washer to the shocks, if not it's really not a big deal but you should have the shop take a look at it make sure everything is tight.

Normal, don't worry so much.

SO WOULD I ADD WASHERS TO THE UPPER MOUNT I WOULD ASSUME??
I NOTICED THAT THEY DON'T FIT AS FLUSH AS THE STOCK ONES

I have added washers and tried bending the area around the mount and I still have a smacking sound. It's really nothing to worry about it's just kind of anoying. I did however find that turning the radio up helps.

A lot of people seem to be havin that problem. The Ranchos fit perfect.

You might want to turn the "Caps Lock" key off unless you meant to shout.

the one difference i did see is that the new shocks do not come with metal sleeves inside the bushings i would assume that is the noise i am hearing other than that i can't find anything else that would make noise

You may just need to tighten your upper shock bolt until the mount pinches in and contacts the the head of the shock.

I have the Rancho's but needed to really tighten them down to stop the knocking over small bumps.

i also noticed that the rear does not sit as high as the front. i left both of the spring isolaters in the rear when i lifted it anY other ideas on how i can bring it up a little
