Reads like the story of my life. Whack a mole with a checkbook/credit card.
Be persistent and you will be glad later.
You know we don’t say this much but a lift is a complete redesign of the axle control and suspension system angles plus the pinion and rear shock clearances- I guess we should all be thankful it goes as well as it does, and much has already been figured out.
I’ve got a post lift dull thud under my 04 driving me nuts now (and I could walk from where I am).
Hang in there.
Edit - good example - the thud is gone-
In the process of dropping the axle 45 times to get the pinion right and track bar in we left the lower shock bolts too loose-
One thing that helps sometimes is to stop. Just back off and tackle it later fresh, and get another set of eyes on it- even less experienced eyes can see something loose.
