Popping noise after 4" Superlift installed, only when wet

[glowstyxs]

Hi Folks,
I'm new to the forums but have been a ram owner since 99'. On my 2nd ram now...

So, 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 so there's no noise that they can reference to. Again, only when its wet, raining and a car wash.

The truck drives smooth all the time, and the dealer has stated on several occasions that everything is torked and tight...nothing loose...

I read somewhere that it could be the coils stretching in their seats... any ideas?

Appreciate any insight.

Hi glowstyxs,

Whenever you head back into the dealer, let us know. We're available via direct message and get this escalated to a Case Specialist if necessary.

Post a picture of the rear suspension setup where the control arms attach at the axle and at the frame

Some pics might help. Since it’s when coming to a stop or taking off weight transfer is causing something to move ever so slightly. Been rocking my lift for about 33k miles and it doesn’t make any funny noises.

Wonder if its from wheel spin if its only when wet that almost could make sense.

That’s where my head was going. Or maybe a rear spring or seat isn’t set properly or the shock.

My truck has noisy rear brake calipers to begin with.

Have the dealer mechanic run it through the car wash before the test ride.

I've got the same lift on the same year Ram with no issues like that so there is something that the dealership needs to rectify.

Have you tried emailing Superlift to see if they have any feedback on what the issue might be ?

Does anyone know if glowstysx ever got this issue resolved? I have a 2020 Rebel Ram 4x4 with a 4” ready lift that is doing the exact same thing as he mentioned in his original post. A significant popping noise from drivetrain but only when it’s wet
