Is it a real loud metal to metal sound?

prelude555 · 12-04-2002, 09:10 PM

not really a metal sound. all it does is it drops straight down and make a bump noise. like my back had jus bottom out

Do you think you could be hitting the bump stops?? What springs do you have and how far is the drop?

prelude555 · 12-04-2002, 09:13 PM

can it be my bumpstop? i remember when i install my springs i cut all four bumpstop in half.

If you cut the bump stops I don't think you would hit them with the pro kit. Are you sure you torqued the nuts back to the factory specs on your top suspension plate?

good question.. i tighten the screws hand tight. not with an airgun.. but i made sure it was really tight, next day after i install it i double check if it were tight n it was.
