We'll guys two nights ago I lowered my 14 with the Belltech 2/4 kit. Everything went very smoothly. Front is great with no issues at all.

Only thing is there are sounds coming from the rear when on rough roads. These sounds were not there before the drop. I made sure everything was tight before driving. It's all torqued. Still have sounds though. Is anyone else having these sounds?

It's like a knocking sound. Help please?

Will do...they are tricky to get to. I know the one on the left is good cuz it was easier to get to. Passenger side is tricky cuz can't really get a socket on there.

But I will check em anyway! Thanks

after market exhaust was mentioned, if that's true, are you hitting the rerouted exhaust w/ the differential housing?

get underneath the truck and have a friend or two jumping in the bed.

No aftermarket exhaust. It's all stock except for the drop. Getting under there tomorrow when I have a chance to work on it. A stubby wrench would be awesome to have for that! Lol

A crow's foot wrench with an extension worked pretty good for me

just saw on another thread that you found the noise was coming from a upper shock bolt that wasn't tightened.

I figured I would post it here for you so if anyone comes across this thread they wont be left hanging.
