Default Noisy brake pedal after lifting

Anyone else experience a lot more rattling with their brake pedal after lifting? Just put a 2.5 lift w/ 34's and my pedal rattles like hell on bumpy roads. If I put my foot behind it the rattle stops. Thought it was in my steering column, but finally figured out it was my pedal. Is there a fix for this or am I stuck with annoying rattling?

It's not a result of moving your driveline.....it's simply impossible since you don't modify the brake pedal with the lift.

So to answer the question......no experience similar here even with lifts.

Lots of people have this problem. I know I do but it started before I lifted the jeep.

There's a thread about it somewhere here

Yeah I found a couple threads, but no one had a solution. Just checking to see if someone figured out a way to quiet it down at least. It's like it needs to be tightened. If that makes sense. I mean it rattled before, but definitely not like now.

Ya, the last i remember, a guy was going to try and fix it then post if it worked. But I lost the thread. It really is a pain in the behind when wheeling.

Mine rattled from day 1 on the soft suspension, and I think with the firmer suspension and lift I just notice it more so that may be why your noticing more now, looked but don't know how to fix it, and yes it annoys me too!

Guess I'll just deal with it until someone finds a solution. Pretty ridiculous though considering the price we pay for these.
