I'm sure it's something minor.

 

hopefully it is it runs fine besides when i turn a good bit and hear that noise so itll run like a champ when i get that noise figured out

 

Take some light colored spray paint or chalk and mark the inside of your fender wells where the tired might contact and do some turns to see if it rubs off. Also it could be your CV axle one side that doesn't like the new angle due to it being worn. Could also be your upper ball joints flexing when hitting bumps or the upper control arm bushings dry and cracked. I have replaced most of these lately to try and get a creeking noise out of my front driver side.

 

thanks dak ill check those when i get the chance

 

hey guys i bought new rough country shocks but its the same length as my stock would they be better than my stock or should i return them and get a longer size also right now my stock shocks only have like an inch of play for the whole rear end

 

You shouldn't need longer shocks for the front. You might possibly want them for the rear. When you say you only have an inch of play for the rear end, do you mean the axle will only drop an inch before the shocks "top out" and limit it? If that's the case, you'll definitely want longer shocks.

The Rough Country shocks are probably better than the stock ones that are meant mostly for driving to the grocery store. And you should be able to get the same shocks in a longer length, if necessary.

 

yea the axle only has an inch until the shock hits its limit and i ordered the rear and front for 3-4 inch lift and the came the same size so i didnt know if it was set up differently and no i dont go grocery shoppin im 16 so im going muddin a good bit and what kind of shocks do u have on yours

 

I have the Tuff Country shocks that came with the 5.5" suspension lift that I sed to have on my truck before I did the SAS. I have no complaints about them.

If you ordered shocks for a 3-4" lift, they should definitely be longer than the stockers. Did you extend them all the way and compare them?

 

yea i did a side by side with stock and rough country and they both measure around 24 inches and do u have those gas tuff country ones

 

Mine are SX6000s. The part number for the front is 62182 and the rear is 62301 (This is for a 97-99 with 5.5" lift.) If you don't have the Tuff Country lift kit (which you don't), stick with stock-length front shocks, but you can go longer on the rear. The reason for this is that the front suspension is still within it's normal range of travel (just sitting higher in it), but the rear has actually been moved out of its normal range.
