Default 2018 leveling kit

Just put a leveling kit on my lariat and it's making some noise in the front end when you hit about 45 or 50 miles an hour. Almost like the four-wheel-drive lockers are trying to engage then it will just stop. Just wondering if anyone else had any issues like this.

Sounds like the installer didn't pull vacuum on the IWE hubs when he re-installed them into the steering knuckle. Thats a fatal error and if thats the issue you need new IWEs.

Sounds about right but it's not the IWEs fault, more like user error as most don't know what they are doing. Awhile back one member here had a Ford dealer do his struts and they messed it up!
Op, let a reputable shop do the repair, l had my 14 redone by a place that screwed mine up..they made it worse and cost them 2k to have me bring it to ford to repair
