Default Steering wheel issue

Hay guys, I just started to hear a clicking noise when turning left and also right on the steering wheel. Any idea why? I have a 6" lift with 35" tires. I had the lift for about 2 years now. Or could it be a factory issue? Well if I cant find why I'll just take it in to the dealer. Thanks guys

Could be a u-joint. At what speed does it happen?

Yea, if you're still running stock shafts(?) with that lift, there's a pretty good chance that's what it is.

6 inch lift and 35's? Yikes. You may have multiple issues going on depending on your build. Tell us more about what you have done parts wise

Or it could just be the steering shaft issue that is well documented on the forum. Have you put 5th wheel grease in the boot yet?
