since i lifted my 07(three inch spacer), my upper control arm is just about touching the spring and if i hit a bump right it makes a light clunking sound. i think its the arm and spring touching. does anyone else have this happen?

Hey I got your pm. Funny you mention this bc Ive been noticing that when my wife pulls in our driveway I hear somewhat of a clunk. My driveway has a dip in it between it and the road. I might have to look into it.

Yup. For me its when shes making a left into the driveway. I think I hear it in the front driver side. But going over speed humps its good.

From what I read the front end of the truck is the same as the f150 but come to find out that is not the case. Dont know who to believe.

ya thats why i cant see buying them on a may or may not work. but then may have same issue with control arms. and being the abuse they are made to take may need to change everything from the frame out so a real lift may just be cheaper in the long run.
