Hello guys, I just installed my HBS 2.5" levelling kit on my 98 dodge 1500 4x4.
Love the look, gives it an aggressive stance, if I could figure out how to post pictures from my phone I would.

After the install I took it for a drive and there is a clunking sound that is new, everything got bolted up pretty tight. I will re-torque everything tomorrow I am just wondering if anyone else has a similar issue and if it is levelling kit related?

Just a note during the install, the sway bar on driver side popped out at the link. I got it back in and tightened it up.

Any ideas?

 

Could be the sway bar link that popped out. Or could be the shocks. The lower bolt needs to be TIGHT. IIRC, about 110 ft/lbs. The shocks are a common place for cluncking/knocking.

Since the end link popped out just replace it. Its no longer up to snuff.

 

Truck needs an alignment now too.

 

Yes I will be replacing it soon. And I'll try tightening the shocks up some more, I certainly didn't get that kind of torque on it.

 

Also check the three nuts on the shock towers.

 

Just put the truck back in the shop, going to tighten up everything up again, thanks guys let you know what I find out
