Zone leveling kit install/ weird banging noise

[MyFirstDiesel]

Okay so I installed my leveling kit last night and when I drove it every time I hit a bump it would make a weird banging and thud. I don't think my shocks are too short as I have skyjacker nitro 8000's and they're rated for up to 3" of lift. Anything I should check or look at?

Could be your trac bar

Make sure your trac bar is properly torqued bud

Do you think that's it?

Yeah it takes quite a bit of toque to tighten it up.

Yea that would be my first guess bud

I had some funny noises when the coils weren't seated properly. Make sure the end of the coil is butted up to the casting on the bottom

We tried removing the track bar bolt but the bolt didn't move when we tried to get it off with the impact

Is there any movement in the bar while it's bolted up?

Everything seems tight as can be. Jumped on the front bumper (250 pounds) and looked under it and it looked okay. Almost seemed like it progressively got less as I drove it but over train tracks it sounds like my truck is going to fall apart lol

The guy who helped me has done a ton of spacers in the past and I trust that he seated them right
