Rear Shocks

[Gottmud]

I put the truxxx levelling kit on my truck 2 months ago. I am very very happy with the results, but I have some observations that need some answers.

Once the levelling kit was on (35" Toyos), I levelled the front to manufacturer specs. The whole truck sat 41.25" floor to bottom of fender, all the way around. Yes, i also did the measurement from center of hub to bottom of fender to manu specs. I measured the truck at the weekend, and everything has dropped 1/2" exactly all the way around. It know seems i have a hollow sort of a creaking sound coming from the rear of the vehicle only when its cold. Once the truck warms up, it goes away. Maybe shocks ????
Once they get warm from working, they pressurize maybe, and the noise goes away ??????. It is not the truxxx kit, that I know.
Anyone else have those sort of problems yet...

Sounds like a shock to me. Does the noise come from only one side? Or both?

Besides the shock problems you've had in the rear, how do you like the Truxxx leveling kit overall? How does it handle now compared to stock?

Leaf springs, hangers and shackles can get a bit creeky. Try slappin some grease on the hangers and lube everything all up. Clean first. mud and water = noisey suspension

I do like the truxxx kit, and the truxxx company was excellent to deal with. They even sent me a couple of truxxx t-shirts. I find the truck skips on pot holes or similar road indents. I love the way it sits at an even height with the 35"s. I regularly wheel on 3 & 3.5 trails. The truck needs a front locker though on the 3.5 trails. I put a winch on, which compensates for when i get stuck. I have wheeled the crap out of this truck, and so far it has stood the test of time. The only problem I believe so far is the rear shocks, which rattle. I am going to replace them with ?????. I am also going to replace the fronts with ????. Any suggestions anyone. A little stiffer suspension would help on the trails in my opinion.

I'm still working on a solution for my shock replacement.

Not sure yet.
