    Bought Rocksliders from CBI. After 4 months, they've started making a banging sound front, driver's side. No offroad trips. Minimal mileage. No tire size change. Suggestions?

    Re-torque bolts.
    The install instructions likely mention doing so after x number of miles. At least, I'd expect them to.

    I would check your cab mounts if there is nothing loose with the sliders. They are known to loosen off and make a banging sound.

    Could be the bolts came loose? If so the sliders are probably banging against the frame and/or the seam weld underneath the cab. Get under an check the bolts my guy.

    Are you referring to the front radiator/core support cab mount bushings? I haven't so much heard of them coming loose but more so the bushing wearing prematurely causing metal on metal contact from the bushing sleeve and bolt.

    Check the clearance between the body pinch weld and the slider

    No, I mean the bolts right behind the front wheels that secure the cab to the chassis in the circular opening in the Cab Mount. Mine came loose and the truck was clunking.
