I have a popping, which sounds like it is coming from up front. I have not had much time to dial things in yet, but if you find your cause I would be interested to hear. I did get the rear passenger spring seated up top better this weekend, but I don't think that was causing any issues.

I also have a popping noise i believe in my drivers side, im going to loosen everything shake the hell out of the jeep and hopefully get rid of what ever is binding up. It only happens when taking turns.

Also, I once had a sway bar link bolt hitting my frame after a lift install. Check that bolts aren't hitting things and are pointing the correct direction.

Not sure how it would be the lift itself? Properly installed, there's not much that could make a popping noise. Did you torque the crap out of the jam nuts on the control arms? If not, they could move in and out. Also could be improper seating of a coil. Front coil position is obvious, but for rears, the end of the spring at the bottom should be pointing toward the rear of the Jeep.

Metal cloak has shown great patience and customer service to me before my order was made and after. As for the products, I purchased them for the value and technology they use. I would recommend contacting them directly with any problems before bashing. Jnabird333 has it right, MC seems to be committed to excellence IMO.

Harbor Freight 6 ton stands work awesome. Plenty of height and only $40 right now.
