    Hello everyone im new here and after reading a lot of posts i thought someone might be able to help. So I installed a 2 inch level kit thought bought from fourwheelparts.com it is the daystar 2 inch strut spacer and after installing it I started to hear a squeak when i hit bumps like pulling in and out of parking lots etc. I have triple check all the nuts and bolts and nothing is loose could it be that the spacer just rubs against the metal and makes it squeak?? Or did I damage something and need to replace it thanks for any input.

    I'm pretty sure this is fairly common. I have a 2.5" spacer lift and it's been doing the same thing as you've described since I had it installed, over 10k miles ago. Ready to order some 5100's! Although, I'm not sure that will fix the problem. I'm sure someone here knows, though.

    If it's a metallic squeak, check the clearance between the coilover and the sway bar.

    I have plenty of space there so it must just be normal. I was also thinking 5100's may be in the near future now. Anyways thanks for the input
