Grandpa has a 95 F150 with a 4 in. Lift, with 33 x 10.50 tires.

He was having some clanking and popping issues, and thought it was the suspension. Turns out the clanking was a bad U-Joint, so he got it fixed. Popping is still around, and it looks like it's the front, passenger wheel. It looks as if when he turns, or goes over bumps, the spring will catch on the shock, grabbing it, then popping out from where it has dug into the shock..

What could this point to?

The spring catches on the shock? I'm not sure about if it's related with the lift, but i suppose that pictures with removed FR wheel will help to smarter guys in here to figure out the problem.

 

What condition are the shocks in? They may be no longer reacting effectively w/ relation to load carry capacity (the shocks are pooched).

 

Well, other than the shock now having a chunk dug into them, they did not look to bad. They have been on the truck since the initial lift, which it could have been years since then, considering we bought it from a guy in town.

 

They can look like a $2. hooker & still function perfectly. If checking shock function is a bit much, I think I have a link for checking tire pressure. You can start there & work up to the shocks! <JOKE-<
