Default Lift installed with new 35's

I installed the Teraflex 2.5" w/shock extensions and love the result. I found the ride home on the new tires a bit rough compared to what I was expecting. They are inflated to 40 psi. BFG All-Terrain T/A 315-70-R17 I also hear a (hate to say it this what but it's accurate) a "tinkle" or something like a bell at the passenger rear while at low speeds. I have re-torqued everything and it appears fine. Sound was not there before. So..any ideas on the sound and what tire pressures are ya'll running on yours? Thanks everyone!Click image for larger version

I keep 28 to 30 psi in my tires. The bell things sounds more like something that is swinging like a washer or brake line bracket, not so much a torque issue.

Like Robar said use 28-30 psi for road use.

Forgot to say that...I am running Spidertrax 1.5" spacers all around. I have not seen any clearance issue yet. I have not had the time to flex it any though. Will get back under it now and see. Thanks

I would drop the psi to 30 and if you want a nicer ride consider new shocks.

Is this the 2.5" BB or coil lift?

Its a coil lift. The forum here consistently said the Rubicon shocks were sufficient. If not what are some recommendations?
