New guy with few questions

Pagosa Titan · 09-09-2008, 10:08 PM

I've had my 04 Off road since new and with 90K on it I need a few things.
Going to put a set of Notti Terra grapplers on next week. I have a 2.5 inch leveling kit on the Front and want to go with 295/70 -17. They are less than an inch bigger so shouldn't rub right? Stock rims.

I need new shocks for the rear, the ranchos have seen too much abuse.. I have clients in the truck alot and can't really put a lift on it but I do a lot of off road. What is the best value in a replacement shock for me? I also have an old camper trailer I take out a lot and it reall makes the rear end sag. Air bags or a helper spring??

Last question, getting a strange clicking sound when under almost no load, the sound changes with speed. I was thinking a U- joint on the driveshaft but I can't feel any play. Sounds like its from under the truck and I hear it more going down hill in a low gear with weight in the truck or my camper on the back.

Lots of questions from a newbee but any help would be great

Thanks

Welcome. I think you should be ok with the tires just being an inch bigger since you have the leveling kit. For the shocks, check out PRG, PRG Products, there's tons of info on the site and Greg can help you out with any questions if someone here doesn't chime in. Not sure about the u-joint. Could be, but you should try taking the driveshaft out and seeing how each one feels by hand. I had a problem on my Ranger but didn't feel any play, yet when I took it off the thing was almost seized up.
