Default 2011 3500 dually making noise in front

After 2 and 1/2 inch leveling kit the front end of my 3500 dually started to make a growling noise from the front end. Was told the stock trac bar was the problem so i replaced it with an adjustable trac bar and had thee front end realigned. It is stilling making the noise any thoughts?

Thanks for any and all help.

Could be the tie rod ends stressing out moaning and groaning on you, lol!. I've heard talk about them making noise while under stress. I think there's a recall on them for your truck specifically the left side so you might want to check into that.

Does the noise correspond to the vehicle speed (i.e. driveline rotation)? Or does it happen as you go over bumps and exercise the suspension? Does it change as you apply the brakes?

It's diesel 4x4. it does corresp[ond to vehicle speed and make more noise going over bumps. I'm going to check out the tie rod end recall.

I`m betting you`ll find yours is under the recall for bad tie-rods
