    It's funny that you mentioned when you turn. I have been trying to diagnose a similar clank. It's interesting that the noise could be heard when stopped and turning the wheels. I initially thought it was a LCA bushing but you have a 14 and are having the same/similar issue.

    Have you inspected the shocks, coil bucket for any rust due to rubbing? I have been trying to figure my mystery noise out but haven't had the time to take a decent look. If there's no rubbing, it could just be the shocks as OZ said.
    That's pretty awesome.
    This is what I'm hoping mine is. It has been more prominent in the colder weather, and I haven't seen any rubbing/ metal on metal contact from looking in the wheel well with the tires turned.

    Doesn't do it during normal driving, just the odd time. So I don't think it's very serious.

    I took sway bar off, I have had lift for 3 days now and it has to be the heavier coils because my goes clank too over speed bumps on my 886's.

    So, would it be safe to assume that all you clankers are gradually destroying your front shocks? That's what it sounds like.

    Somebody earlier described it best , but I believe there is an internal stop in the shock and that is where the sound is coming from , and it's not a top out in the traditional sense where you are damaging the shock

    How have the dakars been treating you? I can't remember if you have the extra leaf or no. Were you one of the add a leaf remove a leaf crowd?

    The clank only happens on the back side of a steep drop like tall speed bumps

    Another one of these, "what should I get?". Here are the specifics, you tell me what OME setup I should get:
    - DCSB 4X4 w/TRD Fake Beadlock wheels.
    - In early spring and summer I pack 3 Relentless Bed Bars with CVT Mt. Rainier and other camping gear. But once Fall (OCT. 1) starts all that comes off and I carry my hunting gear most of the time.
    - Plan on front and rear bumper in the future, maybe skids.
    - Would like 3" max.
    - Want to run 33" tire, or 32.xx"...haven't researched best tire for my wheels.
    - Will get TC UCA's.

    I wanted get ADS suspension components, but that is overkill for the amount of trail riding I do as well as this truck being my daily driver. AND GO.......................

    If you're getting steel bumpers: 886s, nitrochargers, and dakar pack with no leafs removed.

    I have a similar setup to what you have/want (minus the cvt) and this is what I have. About 2.5" of lift. Rides great.

    I was skimming through all 426 pages and clicked on your build and meant to bookmark it but didn't, because your build is where I want to end up. Thanks for chiming in HAHA, got your build bookmarked now! When I get ready to order parts ill PM you directly to see what additional parts I will need, thanks again!
