I lifted my truck about a month ago (6” zone) and every thing seemed great with no problems. Now I have a snapping noice from what sounds like my left side of my rear end. It’s only when I take off or stop suddenly. I gave it a quick check to see if every thing was tight and I didn’t feel any thing loose on a floor jack. Any ideas? Checked lug nuts as well and they were all tight. I’ll put it on the lift tomorrow for a better check.
Thanks for any advise.

I put on a superlift kit and had a very similar noise. My rear relocation brackets had a captive nut and bolt that went up through the rear bracket where the arms bolt up. I didn't put them in and when I would stop or take off, it would pop. I had those extra and reread the instructions over and over again until I figured it out. Put those in and torqued everything down and not a peep since.

I had the dealer install a 4" superlift on my 2016 ram 1500. Only when it's wet do I get this popping noise when I stop or take off from stop. It's annoying as hell. Been back to the dealership several times but it's always been nice out and when the trucks dry there's no noise. Again, only when its wet, raining and a car wash.
I read somewhere that it could be the coils stretching in their seats... any ideas?
