Alot Wrong.... :(

OK so the setup is a fabtech 6inch on a 2007 screw cab. xlt

1. I have a weird grinding sound coming from my passenger side real tire/wheel... might be coming from brakes??
2. When im in 4x4 i have many loud POPPING sounds and i cant turn all the way left/right?

I did do a little offroading this weekend and the grinding from number 1 started after that i think!

Thanks all

Justin

first thing check that everything is tight, second...your vacuum line may have came off of the IWE, that would cause the grinding in 2wd...with the lift they are stretched a little I am sure

Take it back to where you had it installed and let them ride with you...see what they say.

When I had mine installed I had zero issues, thankfully.

I really dont think it is a lift issue. It is a ford component. There is nothing from the lift involved in the rear tire/wheel/brake assembly!

Strange, I just got a 6" procomp installed last week and the same thing happend to me, im taking the truck in tomorrow morning. The 4x4 shop told me it was the vaccum line to the hub. So while ford is re-sealing my rear diff they can fix this little hub issue.
