Ok, so I have been talking to Teckman for over a month about this problem I am having and just recently talked to ihatemybike and came up with two possibilities.

Either my driver side cv is toast and I need to replace it or my axle seal is bad and I need to fix my clamp on my boot on the cv.

take a look at my photos and see if any of you guys know whats going on here :)

If that's the case, you're under warranty.

i hope so, i just sent them an email about the shock. I'm not too happy with rancho products lately, they went out on my dads truck and mine last year and now on the frankenlift.

Make sure you replace both fronts,they should always be replaced in pairs.If one side goes the otherside will not be far behind if you plan on driving with it that way.
