Problem with my suspension

I just recently installed a stillen leveling kit on my 04 Titan and a couple of days ago I when i went of over a bump my front suspension made a terrible noise. So I went home and made sure everything was tight which it was. Has any one heard of shocks failing cause of leveling kits if so, what kind should i replace them with.

Re: Problem with my suspension

Check to see if you have coilbucket contact. What are you 2wd or 4wd and what size kit did you get?

Re: Problem with my suspension

the sound you most likely heard was your upper control arm hitting your coilbucket.

Re: Problem with my suspension
