Greetings everyone!
I am new to the forums and I apologize if I am posting in wrong section, I currently own a 2008 trailblazer LT SWB that I just recently lifted last Thursday, and I am having issues with the front struts topping out when I go over a slight bump in road or small pothole. There is a loud bang and it sounds horrible, I believe the springs may be settling a bit since the bang isn’t as bad is it was the first few days but it is still there, this is what’s done to it:
-supreme suspension 3 inch front/3 inch rear lift
-moog 81114 front springs
-bilstein 4600 series front struts and rear shocks
-rear springs are stock.
I currently run 265/60/18 BFG KO2s and still have a bit more clearance to go a bit bigger on tires.
I am planning on adding a front steel bumper in the near future and should weigh approximately 160 pounds. Would that be enough to keep the front suspension from topping out or is there anything I can do to prevent front struts from topping out with current set up? Aside from this issue the good ol TB actually rides like a truck and I love the look. I would appreciate any input/comments/suggestions!
Thanks!
