Hey guys quick question for y'all, I don't have a lift to check so I wanna see what y'all think it might be. Of course this is too broad searching doesn't find exact thing.

So when I'm completely stopper and start accelerating I hear click, click, click as I roll and it
Goes away after that. Sounds like its coming
From front passenger possibly hub. I don't hear it going straight and it only sometimes does it when turning right. Thanks in advance

I agree with this, maybe check that the bolts on your lca and shocks are tight

Found the size of the bolts, but anyways. I need to get a tap for my new leaf spring bolts. it is a 14mm by 2.0 tap. Does anybody know where I can go get one? I went to an ace hardware, autozone, and grainger rool warehouse. Does anybody think that maybe a home depot or menards could have one?

If I can't find one what should I do? the weld nut is basically garbage if I can't get the new bolts in. And I don't have access to welding equipment.

Nope.. just 14x1.25. Or, we'd have a 1/2x13, and a new grade 8 bolt.... best Menards could offer, without ordering something for ya.

Thanks you 2. Tomorrow morning I'm gonna check in the morning the bolts and feel around behind the brakes. Also I wanna do my bad muffler clamp and see if maybe the sounds are traveling up the frame.

I try driving next to parked cars and don't hear any humming while driving or other echoes. Only upon acceleration

Any other answers as far as the relocator brackets?

Shackles will add about 1-1.5" lift but if run at the first notch might only add like .5" lift. That's with my current saggin leafs that's what I got when I switched the positions on the relocators.

Due to my leafs I haven't gotte ln to test droop yet but if done right the relocators will give sick droop

Edit oh and the brackets work best with extended shackles hense the BB but I've haven't seen dukie to chime in the other companies bracket. RC only works well with extended

thats what im thinking, i mean using the spacers added to what i already have up front, sell the shackles that came with them and run my stockers on my RE leafs and add the relocators for flex droop and add some height to the rear
