noisy shocks after lift?
I have had the new lift in for about a month now from Rough Country. The shocks make a suction noise when hitting bumps in the road. Is this normal with their shocks? if so how long does it last? thanks

a) you dont need to bump a thread 30 minutes after you post it. be patient dude.
b) that "suction" noise you hear is what they do. twin tube shocks do that.

Do they work??I mean I have heard alot of complaints about shocks but being noisy is one I have never heard. I say if they are doing the job then turn up the radio and don't worry so much.

I hear what you're saying, but when I buy a new product I would like for them to function as a new product. it sounds like cheap ****!!

I just got my lift installed last month and my shocks started that sound too so I guess it's common, luckily my other squeaks and rattles drown them out.
