new lift= new noises

[2003renegade]

just put on the OME/rancho with the 3/8 shim and 1 rear upper iso and man does it creak. I know it's probably normal but it's making me nervous. i have a squealing which sounds like the brakes and oh course the coils are making noise.

That *****! The creaking I can understand, but the squeal I don't. Now that it's lifted, the upper control arms are moving in a new range of motion and the bushings could be the creaking sound. The squeal noise??????

no idea and its driving me nuts. also when i back up there is a clunking noise.

Ours creaks and groans from time to time as well!
Goes away when I spray the rubber and polyurethane parts with
silicon spray.

Check the sway bar link bolts...that's a suspect area for noise after a lift is installed.
