whats up with the popping sound????

[Derrick C.]

Ok here it is...........

I was out playin in the snow and rocks yesterday and I noticed this popping sound when I lose grip and regain grip or a tire leaves the ground and comes back down to the ground and the tire bites it pops. I really don't know what it could be. Everything up front is new except maybe U-joints. I had the front end re-built about a month ago. That includes new warn hubs, axle shafts, all bearings and seals and a brake job.


Oh and also if I stop and sit a second and then go real hard it pops also. Can ya guys help me out here. I'm not really worried about it cause 4 low still works but just curious what I'm tarin up.

Perhaps its the superlift 5.5" klunk is arriving. I had one, so did FMExplorer. I actually run 4" brackets, 4" spring and a 1.5" spacer, I took out the factory spacer under my f150 seats and tightened down the spring real well, and mine went away. Also could be radius arm bushings. Unless you are sure it is mechanical and not suspension, then I guess Ujoint

I was thinkin that it was susp. related but I've had the lift on for a year and ahalf now. I would've thought it would start doing the superlift klunk long ago. I'm not sure what it is. I'm thinkin mechanical cause it only does it in 4 wheel. I can baja over jumps and hills in 2 wd and not a single sound(except passenger screaming!)
