Default Rattle/creaking after TF bb?

I installed a Teraflex bb with shock extenders on my Jk in December 2010. (
Hardtop was on) Also installed rubi shocks in the process. I have never had any wobbles/shimmies only
had ESP light come one once. I have retorqued everything to spec.

My hardtop was on until last week April 15 , now with the soft top down and doors off I'm hearing what I feel is alot of rattle coming from under my jeep when I go over rough spots. Is this normal?
Thanks in advance.

Can you be more specific... I run almost the exact same setup. Does it happen with normal DD, I.E. potholes, RR etc... If so, it's pretty normal. I had an incident where my rear shock came loose (bottom mount)... Other than that, it has a bit of a rattle, but all jeeps do to an extent...

I would still do a maintenance check and make sure everything is torqued to specs as well...
