What leveling kit? Did you install it yourself? Did you torque everything down to spec? Can you tell where the noises are coming from?

 

We need some more info here...

Sorry about that, it is the Ready lift 2.25 kit and I had it installed at Mike's Offroad in Haltom City Texas. I've tried looking under the truck to no avail. It sounds like the noises are coming from the Drivers side.

Going to take it back on Monday, is it safe to Drive? Could I screw up anything driving it 30 to 40 miles? I'm thinking I might just say screw it take it off, take the tires back. Probably shouldn't have messed with perfection.

That's a loaded question, seeing as nobody can actually look at your truck, theres a good possiblity you could drive just fine and make it, but then again something could get broken too. The best option would be take another vehicle if you have one, if not, just be carefull!

Sounds more like a job by Mikes 'Off Work'. How could an off-road shop screw up a leveling kit..dang.

 

Could it be the bigger tires? I went from 265/65/18's to 275/70/'18

I had my ready lift kit put on back in september. I can recall hearing a popping sound a couple times when going over speed bumps in the complex I live in but havent heard anything since. I just blew it off as just something needed to "seat" itself. When I took it back to have the hardware nuts and bolts re-torqued I had them look at it and they found nothing wrong
