Default Bang after torsion lift

Did the 5 cranks on torsion bars on my 04 Ram 4wd. Got about 1 1/2-2" of lift. Rides fine, a little more stiff suspension but it's fine. Problem is if I hit a smooth dip in the road like at intersection when I come out of the dip on the upside my front end makes a Bang! It's not on compression, it's on the rebound. Is it the shocks bottoming out?

I would say the shock is topping out NOT bottoming out. You'll need longer shocks if thats the case.

I keep telling you guys that chicks dig lifted trucks!!!


Oh, nevermind. I only read your title.


Yep, you need longer shocks or at least shock relocation brackets...

Ok thanks! I really like the looks of leveling the truck and hope the shocks solve it.
