Hey Guys, I did a torsion twist on the front 3.5 inches today. Now when I drive I hear a clicking sound from the driver side front. I cant for the life of me figure out what it is. I was thinking I might have lifted it to much. Anyone know what might be the problem?

I would first bring it down to the height of 2". From what I have read, you are to not exceed 2" when using the TT method.

Bring it down, and see how it does.

Good luck!
 






On the 4x4 models, the 2" recommended TT limit is due to the CV joints. I can easily imagine that some other part common to RWD and 4WD models has issues shortly beyond 2". As was suggested above, drop it back to 2" and check for noise. You could then try adding and testing in increments above that.

Particularly check brake lines and steering component angles.
 






I appreciate the help. I believe the problem was a big ass nail I found stuck in the tire.
 






There are those times when the funny noise that sounds like a nail in a tire turn out to be something along the lines of a nail stuck in a tire.
