    Greetings all,
    I just installed a Rough Country 2” lift on my Trailhawk. Did front one day, rear next. Took for a ride to settle it and I am getting a banging noise over bumps, some turns, and randomly on acceleration. Hoping someone can give some wisdom on how to correct.

    Can you identify the general area where the sound is coming from? The generally known spot for noise is the front swaybar links, you could try unhooking them to see if the noise goes away, otherwise you're probably looking for something that was left loose (Like a rear control arm, maybe?)...

    Fixed it!!
    I reinstalled the end links after shortening them 1/4” and reinstalled them. Tourqued everything back down and all is good.
    Thanks for the info!

    I also noticed the Klunking noise in the front after I installed my 1.5 inch lift. I will unhook the links from the sway bar and see if it goes away. If I need to replace what do you recommend I use?

    I had the same issue after installing a teraflex 1.5 body lift. The sway bar links were total crap. Thankfully, Daystar makes a bracket that allows you to use the original sway bar links, and I had those installed yesterday at the dealership for a total cost of $240 (approx $40 for the Daystar bracket and $200 for sway bar links and installation).

    Hello, do you have a link for this bracket? I've looked on the Daystar site and couldn't any find info about them. Thanks so much!!!

    They don’t sell it individually online. If you call them, tell them you have their lift kit and just need to replace the bracket, they’ll sell it to you over the phone. There may be a link out there, but I never found it.
