Hello all, New to the forum and to the 4runner community. Just picked up my 19 trd offroad premium with kdss about a month ago or so. I had a few questions for y'all since it came decently modified already. As of recent I've started to hear a kind of crunching/ spring noise from the front suspension going over speedbumps and dips in the road. The sound has gotten more noticeable after going offroading with the truck and comes from both sides, more so on the passengers side. I've checked the sway bar bushings and made sure the struts are tightened properly. everything checks out okay The car has Bilstein 5100 struts front and rear, I believe it also has JBA Upper control arms. There are no obvious leaks on the strut as well as no damage. any help would be awesome. Thanks again and I look forward to figuring out how to share pictures and what not of my car.

Also additional question. do I need a swaybar spacer for the KDSS with this lift kit on. I am not sure how high it is but it does appear to be at least a 2" lift front and rear.

Welcome. Your issues definitely sounds suspension related. Or it might be some bushing in various parts that tie the suspension components to the frame. Can you create the noise by bouncing the front end while standing next to the truck?

so I tried jumping on the rock sliders and it does not create the sound as far as I can tell.
