Noisy rear end after 2" block lift

[DPHILLIPS8503]

Hello all, recently had the 2" rear block kit from maxtrac suspension installed on my 2023 2WD Screw. It came with Fox 2.0's, since the install, every little bump is loud as all get out and sounds like the bed is rattling around. I checked all fasteners for proper torque and nothing was loose. Did I get bad fox shocks?? Help please before I pull my beard hair out from the noise!!! Link to kit below...

Recheck and torque the shock bolts. I had the same type of noise in mine after the lift install. Ended up being one of the shock fasteners wasn't tight enough. Rubber around the eye doesn't allow proper torque to be applied to the fastener.

I checked for torque and everything was good, should I over torque it???

What kit/shocks did you use on your rear? No amount of tightening is helping mine either lol

Maybe the u bolts werent snugged down evenly and the U is off center?

Thats what I was thinking, I’m gonna back them off and try doing them right this weekend. The leafs look off centered now too, think that may be an issue??

I had went back over the rear about two weeks after the install. I had to listen to that noise long enough to determine it was in fact the rear and it was something I had installed. I retorqued the u-bolts and the shock fasteners. The drivers side upper shock bolt was giving me problems actually torqueing it down. There is a steel sleeve on the inside of the shock eyelet to keep it from crushing the bushing to far. Crank it down a few more turns and see if the noise goes away. It wont hurt anything.

I’ll give that a shot, I know there’s some side to side play in the shock.

Side to side play in the shock?
Shouldn't be any at all. I would say thats your noise.

I pulled them, metal sleeves fell right out of the bushings. lots of play between sleeve and rubber bushing. :-(

So any luck ? I’m still making noises. FML . I’ve even gone passed the torque spec of 111 to 130 LB ft . Nothing
