I just installed the readylift 3.5, and I drove a few at the dealer and every time I feel like I hear an extra rattle or 2 upfront, not all the time but some. Anyone else experience bc I cant decide if its just in my head.

There's always a bit of paranoia after doing suspension work. That being said, after a good drive it's always a great idea to re-torque all your nuts'n'bolts soon as possible. That takes away the guess work and paranoia.

I've had my 3.5" ReadyLift installed for several months and have had zero rattles. Good luck in finding it, as that would drive me nuts.

well the retorquing sure helped

It's just a habit I have now, since losing a wheel in highschool when I put aluminum slots on my 71 Dodge Dart and forgot to retorque the lugs ... the hard lessons seem to last longer. Glad it helped. My suspicions were UCA nut or lower strut being loose when you said rattle.
