What the clunk is that?!??!
I have two 2011 FX4's
One I had been running with level kit and 33's (I just lifted this 4" from stock today)
And the other has a 6" lift
The one with a 6" lift has a pretty bad clunk when stopping and going. From reading it sounded like the drive shaft needs to be lubed. So I took it in to the dealer today and they told me I have a 1 piece drive shaft and it can't be lubed. They went on to say the clunking is from my drive shaft being to short now with the 6" lift and that I need to buy a longer drive shaft.
I called the lift shop to inquire about a longer drive shaft and they said it didn't call for that even with a 6" lift WTF
Also even with the level kit on my other truck it's doing the same noise just not as bad.
FYI I put a Rough and country 4" with rancho 7000's all the way around and the truck drives great.
I just need to solve this clunking issue
