: A Question About Bang in Front End

Alright, I have my factory torsion keys maxed out and I just recently installed Rancho 9000's cuz my factory shocks were topping out but I am still hearing a bang/thud when I hit major bumps or holes.

Is there any way to simulate a bump and being able to look under my truck at the same time?

I looked under there and noticed a yellow bumpstop (?) that is not touching the a-arms, should it be? Do I need to extend that bumpstop? But to me it seems like that if the yellow bumpstop is against the a-arm, then the a-arm will not have any travel to go up and down.


And right above the yellow bumpstop, there is a metal piece that looks as if it could be hitting the upper part of the metal a-arm.

Could that possibly be hitting?


I'm about to maybe try the green keys. At this point, it can't get any worse.

You could always put some modeling clay where you think it's hitting, take it for a drive and then see if the clay is flat after that little trip. Edited by: Voodoo
