I have a 2019 GEN five I put the 2 inch spacers in now I have a rattle in the front end everything is tight not sure exactly where it’s coming from but it sounds like it might be from the torsion bar. On my old 05 when the bushings on the torsion bar would go bad it would make A similar noise I would replace the bushings and all that noise would go away. Every little bump I can hear it it’s driving me nuts anybody else go through this I’m wondering if I have to change the bolts on the torsion bar as the geometry changed slightly with the 2 inch lift

Get the spacers out of there and pick yourself up a set of Bilstein or eibach height adjustable front struts. The puck spacers is not the proper way to lift the front of our rams. @Nick@GotExhaust is a preferred vendor on this forum and will set you up with the parts needed including your forum member discount

Agreed, there is tons posts here showing how bad spacers are for these Rams. The spacers are likely to be the culprit. Go with an adjustable strut as the knowledgable @Quick_Shifter said. The adjustable struts are the proper way to accomplish a raised front height to level. Message me for more info and a quote if interested.

Funny thing. I had the spacers from RC install since about June 2021. I just started having creaking issues last week. I'm getting new 2 inch leveling struts installed next week. Does the creaking generally take this long to creep in? I wish I had just spent the extra $500 last year.

It can start anytime. There are members on here that have had zero issues years in. But everyone lives in different environments and drives different.
