    i tried to check the ball joints, they are all fine. the sound is coming more from the middle of the truck, not from either side of the suspension

    what exactly is your noise again

    thats messed up call corporate.....
    they have to prove the lift caused the failure of said part....
    im waiting for my dealer to call me and tell me what they find on mine today...and if that was there answer...i would have a gas pedal stickage at the dealership showroom.....

    i mean i know i have a 3 inch lift and all but even with the lift the rack and pinion angle is not even maybe 5 degrees off of factory at the inner tie rod... what should i do? i mean yes i can see where they are coming from but i only have 10,176 miles on the truck. ive only had the lift on for like 1200 miles at the absolute most. im fairly certain it would take longer than that for my rack and pinion to take a shit... that has to be a defect...has anyone else had this problem?
