    Hello,
    Couple months back i noticed this really loud creaking/popping noise. It only does it when the front end is articulating as posted in the video below. On occasion it does it going into drive ways. It’s driving me insane. Any ideas on what it could be? Video link for the noise down below

    Chris a mazzalu makes these. Very nice quality bumper and I believe it’s lighter than the stock bumper.

    Check your radiator core supports and the metal that extends from the radiator core support like back to the firewall under the battery and in the wheel well. If you have a stock bumper its hard as hell to see them without taking the headlight out or looking down in where your radiator is. Mine creaked like that from the metal warping back and forth and tearing when the frame would flex. It's a thing on these trucks.
