Sound from passenger side after 2.5 inch lift

PALiftedKK · **Posted:** Mon Nov 10, 2014 1:00 pm

I just put on skyjackers 2.5 inch lift for my 2012 liberty. It sits very high, but the only issue I have is that there is noise coming from the passenger side strut assembly. The noise is random, when I hit a bump sometimes it will rattle and other times it does not. when making any degree of a turn the noise goes away if I hit a bump. I checked the nuts that secure the strut mount to the engine bay and they are all tight, tight enough that it will be hard to remove them by hand.

Try checking the clevis bolt and the lower control arm bolt to ensure they're tight too.

I would say less than 1% of KKs on this forum are running a skyjacker lift. As far as something specific that someone else has had before, you probably won't get an answer. The only thing myself or others will be able to tell you is make sure all of the bolts are tightened to spec while the vehicle is on the ground. Good luck with that lift bud

I had figured out the issue. the shock wasn't installed correctly. the shock is hitting the plate that is on top of it. it is the same issue on both sides. I figure since im down there again I might as well put the sway bar bushings on that came with the kit. the oem bushings are starting to get trashed after 20 miles of driving.

Shouldn't trash the sway bar bushings in twenty miles, could be other issues
Did you tighten them after full weight was on the ground ?
Skyjacker setup is different than all other lifts out there so yes some differences in how they go together
Hope you get it figured out

Yes I had tightened the bolts on the sway bar. The bushings before hand showed some slight ware on them. But I need to figure out how or why the top shock mount is loose.

Need to drop it down out and make sure the bushings were installed right plus tightened down correctly.
Could of been left loose or tightened too much deforming the bushings
