Default Bump-n-bang

Hey I wanna know how to fix my problem. A few months ago my truck started makin a banging sound when I hit a bump and not its any small bump. It sounds to me like the springs are making the noise, and I dont know how unless they are so short that they are getting loose when the rear bounces from a bump. Someone said try putting rubber hose around the bottom of the spring to see if thats the problem. Im still running stock shocks but I think im gettin the elderbrock shocks this week. Lol I hate parkin lot pimpin and getting attition when they hear BAM BANG POW when I go over a speed bump.

If it is your springs coming loose, you could try some spring isolators. Zip tie them onto the spring.

Well after I put the roll pan on I had to remove the spare tire which made it start to rattle so I just removed all the parts that went with the spare tire.

Check to see if your exhaust is hitting anything, like your read end or axle.
