Hi guys.I have a problem and i want to enlighten me if it's possible. I'm using SKYJACKER since last september. When i'm hitting a pothole or a drainage (10 -20 km per hour), i'm hearing a creak, from the front end (driver's side). Any ideas of what this can be???? Thank you.
( A friend of mine, using SKYJACKER since last year, told me that he had problem with the upper shock mount - broke down. Is it possible???)

did you install the lift yourself? I had a creak in my front end and it turned out to be a loose clevis bolt...check the torque on this. Otherwise swaybar bushings are fairly common...
