When turning the wheel left or right I can hear a popping sound coming from the front end. At a stop I will also get some feedback like a bump in the wheel. Thoughts and suggested fixes are welcome. RK 2.5 max travel lift installed 4 months ago.

Are you in 4wd on dry pavement?

Have you checked the ujoints?

When's the last time the suspension was torqued?

Not on 4wd on dry pavement and checked torque last night and 2 months ago prior to that.

See if the caps broke, or any damage to the ujoint.

Check your frame side bolt on your track bar. When I was running the OEM hardware, it would come loose and make that popping noise. I upgraded my hardware and the popping hasn't returned. :beer:
