I have a 2 year old Rusty's add-a-leaf 3" lift on my '01 XJ. Recently the rear has been making a TON of noise when I go over larger speed bumps, pot holes, roots, etc. So I figured it was my shocks, so I replaced the bushings and got the JKS Bar-Pin Eliminators. Didn't work. Then I replaced the shocks with Edelbrock Xtreme Travel IAS shocks... they are much nicer and work mu8ch better, but they still didn't fix the noise.
So, I'm left with a noise that sounds like something loses contact with the vehicle when the rear suspension is unloaded and then a nice loud bag when it re-engages.
So far I've ruled out the bar-pins, bushings, and shocks. I've been thinking that it might be the spring pack itself or the spring pack bushings. A friend recently suggested that it might be the driveshaft and that I should consider a SYE. At the moment I'm stumped and could really use some help. If you need pictures or more info I can do that.
Thanks!
