Did you do the install or have a shop do it? I ask because it sounds like something is loose. Also what exactly is installed please provide links. I’m not versed in RC kits or part numbers. Or just post pictures of your front suspension and we’ll go from there

It does sound like maybe something is not torqued and is loose. I also will say RC is on the lower end of suspension kits. If you decide to remove it and would like something better quality feel free to contact us for a better option.

As Quick_Shifter said, please let us know what exactly you have and show some pics. We may be able to help figure this out. @Quick_Shifter is an expert installer with RAM trucks and we have a lot of experience with suspensions so we may be able to figure it out on here for you.

Ok it’s complicated lol a shop did it lift I installed was upper control arms with spacers front back with rear shocks after installed it wasn’t sittin level so it was annoying me so I called rough country they sent me bigger spacer for rear because it was sitting low in rear at same time I also got the front heavy duty struts for front so it was sitting nice after all that but started the noise and hasn’t stopped since with the lift im running 22x12 chrome rims wrapped in 33s tires no rub

Its sounds like you have spacers on top of leveling struts which is called lift stacking and is not good on a truck with independent front suspension. Even if it is a loose bolt making noise somewhere new noises will keep popping up. Rough Country geometry is not good to begin with and you added stuff to make it worse. Send some pictures of your suspension and then go read this

Examples of what not to do

So I had a truck in last week the poor kid has been battling a terrible ride since May. He took his truck to what he thought was a reputable shop and they assured him they knew what they were doing. @Mbrigh3 knows all about this when he took his truck to a reputable shop. Consider this a public...
