    getting a loud banging after my 3” lift was installed, trying to figure it out.
    Everything is tight
    I’m thinking if I should get a longer shock. Will that fix the problem?

    Kinda short on the details. When does it bang? Where is the bang coming from? What else is going on? What kind of lift?

    If you went a full three inches, it's probably a good idea to make sure you aren't tugging on your brake lines. Probably a good idea to check anyway...

    If you are tuging on the shocks you are tuging on the brake lines. Better get extended stainless brake lines . You don't want the next post to be "my brakes are not working after 3 inch lift" . Glw install. The rear lines can be a pita

    It’s a leveling kit 3” front 2” rear
    I double checked all the lines, looks good and has a lot of slack
