Is this normal for my Fox suspension?

    Fox 2.5 remote reservoirs + DSC installed on all 4 corners. Total Chaos UCAs up front. When I got over a "whoop" on-road, the front makes a rumbling sound (heard from INSIDE the cab) like the sound you get when you've got a bunch of stuff in the bed and it rolls/shifts around...only it's coming from the front.

    Bolts are torqued to spec, nothing looks loose, nothing sounds weird from OUTSIDE the truck so I'm not too concerned that something's going to snap off. Is this just a characteristic of this type of suspension? I had OMEs all around before this and didn't have this kind of noise.

    Been searching...still searching...but have only found people with clunking/popping or squeaking noises.

    Any help would be great!

    I know this is a bit old now but I've read multiple people having a similar issue with the Fox shocks. Often it is caused by the sway Bar (if you still have it) or the coilovers topping out (max droop) . Some people have recommended limiting straps if that's the case. There's also the chance of tire rub causing noises, but you would probably recognize that.
