Ok, here is the sitch, I went out yesterday to continue to break in the Frankenlift.....had tons of fun. While I was climbing a slippery gravel & sand rock pile, Bullet did this little shuttering thing. Of couse, I backed off right away...not knowing for sure what it was. My best friends TJ did the same thing, so I assumed it was pretty normal, but didn't push it.

What was that?

Secondly, the front end (I think) made some interesting noises, I was thinking sway bar at first. But when I got Bullet home, they seemed fine. Any ideas? Lastly, I had my TJ buddy stand in Bullets door and jump up and down to see if I could hear anything, and I am getting a squeaking noise, sound kind of like a blown shock, but comes from somewhere else (I hope!) My shocks are brand new obviously.

Any ideas on what to start looking for would be great.... I really want to get back out there and conquer the gravel mountain!

The shudder is probably your wheels spinning.

The clunking noise that your front end is making is more than likely the upper a arm coming into contact with the spring. If you have the OME HD 927 front springs it may go away once they're broken in. Mine took 3000 miles and a couple of wheeling trips (one good bashing at Uwharrie) to settle, but I'd already replaced the a arms with Al's by that point anyhoo.
