Need a Spot

Just installed Full Traction 3" economy lift, and the rear shock makes a "cricket" squeak.

Any ideas?

Body Damage is Cool

1. Did you install new, longer shocks when you installed your 3" suspension lift?

2. Are you sure the noise is coming from the shocks themselves, and not from the bushings at the upper or lower shock mounts?
