    I have a 3" lift and when i turn the tires i hear a bad squeak. I looked under the truck it looks like my swar bar is rubbing against the shock. Is this common? Should i install a sway bar spacer?

    do you see any sway bar marks on the actual coils? spacer lift shouldnt cause that.

    and FSM says 85#, so close.

    it may be from the play in the UCA allowing the spindle to rotate along w/ the sway bar. tighten it to spec and see what happens.
