it sounds like my body lift is makin a popping noise when i get body roll. it sounds like its comin from the bolts under the jump seats. is it normal or do i need to tighten???

 

u should chk if anything is loose

 

what i thought. prolly do it tomorrow. now if only i could figure out my other noises id be good. lol

 

Yeah....its suggested to check torque on all bolts about 500mi after install. Did you use the supplied LockTite???? If you did, you shouldn't need any additional torquing.

Could be something completely else judging by all your front end problem threads lately.

 

yea. idk what the shop used. my friend rode in the jumpseat yesterday and said they could feel it through the floorboard and her ***

 

i didnt put the lift on sooo, how do i get to the bolts to check the tightness in the bolts under the cab? cuz ik the bolts in the bed are on top

 

Front cab bolts are right behind the bumper.
Middle cab bolts are under the carpet on the floor board.
Rear cab bolts are under the rear seats. In order to get to them you need to remove the rear jumper seats.

 

ok. ic. so its gonna be a ***** then. lol. i asked the shop when i picked up the truck if i needed to check them after like a week of driving and he told me no. bastard...

 

X2
Check the body mount bolts and if you're having some front suspension probs, you need to really check the front suspension out closely.

 

i did have ford look at it for the front suspension and they said everything checks out cept for the axle shaft that i had them replace. im fixn to buy new brakes, kinna think its the brakes makin most of the noise but not sure. either way its a good upgrade. lol. i need to have the front driveshaft looked at as well. it wiggles a bit. not sure if its the UJs or not though

 

mine needed with the lock tite..

i will bet money the cab bolts are loose mine sounded the same way

 

If you paid to have the lift installed I would take it back to the shop that installed it. Have them tighten them and you dont have to do all the work.

 

^what he said! That'd be the first thing I did if I paid for it to be installed! If no luck with that then I'd go for it myself!

 

mine did that the first time after i went out, came back tightened them f-ers down nd no more knock! make sure you grab the ring on the bottom while someone turns the wrench up top! it likes to spin instead of tighten

 

the ring is under the truck,right? and do i just take out jump seats or EVERYTHING in the cab?

 

mine do it sometimes and then just go away. the truck did well wheeling and no sounds.

 

if you payed someone to install go ask them whats up

 

it usually just does it in turns when i have body roll or when i go over bumps or offroad

 

yeah sounds to me that your cab bolts are loose their not that bad to get to just takes a little time

 

took it down there, they are gonna tighten em for me. yaya. lol less for my fat *** to do.

 

I could be wrong but.. I don't think it's your BL at all... I think it's your front sway bar end link bushings. popping on body roll or un-even surfaces? Sounds about right.

 

it was the cab bolts. you could tell where everything shifted a little bit from the marks on the metal. there were other noises in the front end but i have since traded it off for a fx4 f150

 

Jesus I did it again... I keep finding old threads... did everyone stop talking on this forum?

 

haha. i was wondering where my popping noise was coming from and i assumed it was front the BL but this just proved it.. now i have to find some time.. :(

 

no you just dont need to add your 2cents to every old thread here is a novel idea. when you open the thread pay attention above peoples posts on the left and look at the post dates
