Have a 6-inch lift with a rattle under bed of truck.
This 2014 Ram Sport 5.7 4x4 had this lift kit when I bought.
Pulled tool box out thinking this was issue but not the case.
Have banged on everything underneath bed, only thing I can find that rattles or makes noise are shocks.
Not sure what kind they are.
They rattle at the top where the bolt goes thru the eye.
Noise is only noticeable at low speeds, could be there at cruising speed, just cannot here for road noise & exhaust.
Any suggestion with shocks & p/n's to replace with if this is cause of the rattle?

Thanks

What shocks do you have up front?


Edit: here's my recommendation for the rear, not knowing your budget or driving style..

(Only for 6")

The shocks up front were Mopar so the ones in the back probably are also.

Lets see some pics of your truck. Wouldn't be a bad idea to go bilstien 5100 up front to level, or keep the rake (that I'm assuming your have), and the rear ones I posted.. Prob looking at around $400 ballpark.

Just looked at the rough country 6' kit online, it comes with rear shocks only.
The kit that came on truck is probably 2 yrs old so it could have changed.
Shocks same color minus labels

Any idea what measurement would be 6 vrs 4 on body from ground with tape measure.

Recently had to take flares off, my son took 1 out with grocery cart.

No.. But if you roam the forum a bit, there's a bunch of people that have posted their measurements. I didn't.

Attached another picture above without flares.
I think it would look better with 37.
But need 456 gears for that, I don't like the 35 with 3:55 6-speed.

how big is your rear spacer? 2.5 would be a 4 inch lift but 4.5 is a 6 inch. also if its a 6 inch you would have a trac bar drop both very easy ways to tell

I don't recall seeing a spacer on rear coils.
I think everyone is right about it being a 4" lift, it measures 42.5 to rear fender above tire from ground & 41.5 to front.
