Default OME Lift question

I just installed the OME 3'' lift on my 2dr 08 Rubicon. But the problem is that when i take it off road it makes all sorts of noise. I cant find where the noise is coming from if anyone has installed this lift and might know what the problem is. Please let me know.

Thanks

You did replace/re-install the spring isolators when you installed the new springs right?

First, check everything you touched. Then get underneath it and push up and pull down on the frame as much as you can to try and find where the noise is coming from. Sounds like a track bar issue, but could be anything from spring isolators to sway bar links.

My OME does not make any noise. Are your shocks tight enough and what kind of sway bar links did it come with?

First check to make sure the sway bar links are tight. Then check the tops of your front shocks to make sure they are snug and not moving around.

It seems like it does it more when i have the sway disconnected but it sounds like it is coming from the rear.
