[Fixed, I think] What is this sound!? I don't think it is normal.

I'm having the same issue on my 16 2wd sport and the dealer on Saturday told me it was my stock shocks and the absorbers. So I'm getting the front end lifted 2 inches with a coilover leveling kit (no spacers) to see if that does the trick. I saw a video about a away bar relocation kit and was wondering if that might help?. In the video on lifted truck, the coil spring hits the sway bar, so by relocating it maybe a 1/4 inch up it creates room so the lower part of the coil doesn't hit.

 

Dang it! My truck started making this sound 3000 miles after I added Bilstein 5100’s.

 

Get a sway bar relocation kit and see if that helps. I went with the rough country 2 inch leveling lift and problem solved.

Mine had a similar creak and it was the rad mounts. Initially started as a small pop/creak, then got progressively worse over a few months until any small turn and it manifested itself. Localized it to the rad mounts. So took out the rad mounts and the rubber still seemed good for now, so lubed liberally and it was gone. 18' DCOR with 15k miles on it.

 

I’ll have to give these a try

 

Hmmm...I’ll look into that also. Do you have a pic available of what I’m supposed to be looking at?

 

So I've been battling these rad mounts my self on my 2019 OR and I've come to the conclusion they put these radsupports in wrong or the holes are completely off and its drivers side for me. The bolt catches in the inner bushing sleeve. Thus making the creak and pop.... I wish I took pictures to show all you guys but this is what I found. When the bushing is out and you put the bolt in you can truly see how off it is.

 

I read this thread and now mine makes that noise on the passenger side… FML…
