questions about lifted truck
i got a buddy that just lifted his truck about 5,000 miles ago. im looking to buy the truck but ive noticed suspension peices squeak and clunk an awful lot. i dont know if this is normal or something needs greased or maybe something is loose. anyone ever experienced this. also what would lead to a caliper sticking.

Yeah. I'd grease stuff up and you should be fine. Make sure that everything is nice and tight though. You need to retighten everything after the first 1000 miles or so. I've been running a lift for the last 20k plus miles and all I do is grease it when it gets a hair bit noisy and it stops.

Buddy of mine has a 98 with the Skyjacker 7" lift on it and it just seems to squeek, no matter how much is greased and tighted, it is just the nature of the greaseless heim joints. They are just noisy that is all there is to say about them.

I have a 5.5 inch skyjacker on my 05 dually and my noise is terible but its mainly from the shocks the steel inserts with the kit have to much play for the stockshock bolts so evry litle bump you here the shocks ratle it sounds terible. Im still desiding what to do about it.

shocks are my constant noise, but i did notice the front lower control arm bolts got loose within 5k miles. handling sucked and the alignment marks on the eccentric washers were way out of whack. grease, tighten and curse the shocks til they wear out!
