Popping noise in front left?
I just noticed that there is a subtle popping noise from what seems like the front left of my truck. It happens more when I'm at full lock, backing up or making a turn.
Anyone notice something like this? I just installed an Icon stage 1 and light racing UCA's if that sheds light as to what it might be.

I've got that same issue right now and I can't seem to figure out what's wrong either.. I've installed new cv shafts, shocks, and sway bar links. I have a new set of ucas but I'm not going to install them unless I know they're the issue. If you find out what's wrong please let me know!!

I know I'm a 4th gen but the suspension is about the same so it may be the same issue.

Is the tire rubbing on the body mount or mud flap? Look for shiney spots on the paint/plastic.

What Antman said....he is a very smart man.....in addition to checking for the rubbing, how is the castor set? You want to get as close to +4.0 as possible, which will push your wheels forward. S if it is rubbing where Antman says it might be, this may be your fix.

Check all your wheel lugs and be sure none are loose!

Its pretty common to get the occasional pop or clank on a lifted/wheeled truck at full lock.

So looking under my truck, there is no rubbing but it looks like the stabilizer bar is hitting the frame of the truck. Any way to fix this? I'll post pictures soon.
It's the bent part of the stabilizer bar (towards the middle of the bar. It's resting on one of two forward oriented support braces. The right side has plenty of clearance and the left side is touching the bent part of the stabilizer bar.

Purchase the sway bar relocation kit. It drops the bar and those support braces and should stop the two from colliding. I've seen them on eBay fairly cheap, any of the sponsors on here should sell them too. I ordered mine on sale from icon off their website think I paid around 30$ shipped.

I installed the sway bar relocation kit already included in my stage 1 suspension. It moved it forward and down. It helped it not rub against the coilovers, but now it's hitting the front of the "compartment" bout to upload pics.

Alright, here is a shot from the drivers side looking into the area under the skid plate. You can see where the sway bar is touching the brace.

Another possible lead I found was... chipping on the drivers side UCA. Not sure what's causing it, but there's no rubbing and these chips seem fairly robust (to the point the finish is gone at those points).

Welp, after browsing some. I saw harper7's post on this. I think I put the skid spacers in the wrong place. Doesn't looking like they're for the skids, but relocating that brace instead.

Those just look like rock chips from the tires throwing them into the UCA.
