Clunk noise over speedbumps?

    I've had this noise for 3 years since doing the spacer lift on my tacoma.
    Since I've joined, now is the perfect chance to ask for opinions.
    I have a 3inch spacer lift, stock coils, and stock Ucas. New Shocks as well. When ever i go over bumps its a loud clunk noise, just not sure what is making contact. Would new UCA's fix this? or Ditch the spacer and get a better setup ? thanks

    Pictures of the setup you have right now?


    Any noticeable marks on the coil spring showing the UCA hitting? Most of the time when it comes to that kind of noise the shocks are topping out. When does it happen? on compression or rebound up?

    for some reason i can't upload photos from my phone. But it makes a loud noise on the rebound. I think you are right with the shocks topping out. It mostly happens during a rebound going up. Going up the speed bump is okay, but when it compresses then goes back up it makes the loud noise.

    i was thinking of getting these to replace my Current Spacer i read somewhere that the spring rate is only 545lb Which is perfect.

    That should definitely take care of it...spacers accomplish the lifted truck look but they aren't good for your suspension or the quality of your ride, especially at 3". The kit you linked to is a solid suspension lift kit and should serve you very well.

    Sounds like your shocks are topping out..

    The Eibach kit you posted a link up to will be perfect for your application honestly. Great durable setup, awesome ride quality, and a solid price overall!


    Shoot me a pm if you have any questions or concerns.


    thanks
