Suspension pop while turning or hitting a bump
Thank you! Light bar is going away soon. I'm going to mount 2 KC or PIAA lights there instead. Lightbar was a dumb mistake. Has cause more issues than expected. Actually failed and caused a fire in the cab. Had to replace the kick panel on the drivers side. Have factory fogs coming in too. Since...- Daltong2000

Suspension pop while turning or hitting a bump
Definitely sorting the suspension out first. And yes it came with separate top hats to press the studs into. They said they welded them on the bottom side as a precaution. 0 offset would set it flush with the fender or half an inch out. Which is where I want it. I know itll put stress on ball...- Daltong2000

Suspension pop while turning or hitting a bump
Completely unrelated to the suspension thread but, I'm thinking of buying 16x8 0 offset pro comp Stryker wheels. Are they decent? Or should I just stick to the 16x8 soft 8's I was originally going to buy- Daltong2000

Suspension pop while turning or hitting a bump
The shop told me they welded the stud heads to the new top hat so they wouldn't work their way loose. Also, I just forwarded the email to you Jason- Daltong2000

Suspension pop while turning or hitting a bump
Just sent them! I found the problem. The spring isn't even sitting on the upper spring perch (or whatever the technical name of it is) correctly. End of the coil isn't in the divot.- Daltong2000

Suspension pop while turning or hitting a bump
Jason, I'm going to email you a series of photos and I want you to tell me if it seems like anything is wrong. Tom, if I can email you as well that'd be nice. I'm seeing something and I'm thinking they really messed my KJ up. And might I add that they also kept trying to blame it on the...- Daltong2000

Regardless I'll keep this thread updated as to what the issue actually is. I have a feeling it's as you said, improperly seated.- Daltong2000

Suspension pop while turning or hitting a bump
I know I know I need to replace the bump stops lol. The shock rod isnt bent. Its straight in there. Its just the spring itself. I'm going to take it to my buddies to figure out what is going on. If its seated wrong or whatnot today Also where are you located? Has to be in the salt belt. Not...- Daltong2000

Suspension pop while turning or hitting a bump
Update on the situation. Took it to the shop today for a quote on how much it'd take to just get it fixed temporarily until I can afford a full OME lift and they told me easiest fix is to "grind down the back of the bump stop housing so it will clear without making contact" and completely...- Daltong2000

Suspension pop while turning or hitting a bump
I'm not saying you dont know what you're talking about. im just telling you what I've observed. just got off the phone with the alignment guy and hes saying theres no way it's an alignment issue. Which I figured. They're trying to play the blame game and I just want to get this sorted out.- Daltong2000

Suspension pop while turning or hitting a bump
Update Got in contact with the shop. They said it seems like the alignment guy XXXXXXX up. I noticed that it seems like on of the coils is hitting the bump stop at an angle and the strut assembly is leaning towards the top slightly. Shop said the alignment guy would realign it no charge. I'd...- Daltong2000

Suspension pop while turning or hitting a bump
I appreciate the response and the advice. But I didnt give you any attitude until you said "not even going to mention you choice of lifting your kj". I was in contact with the shop today and they assured me they tightened the bolts to spec and the whole 9 yards. I understand that spacer lifting...- Daltong2000
