did you put them on at the same time as titan swap? i believe its 200-220 psi. i am a part of an offroad club here in sa and one of the guys had a charging kit. Try a motorcycle shop or any shop that does work on suspension. But stay away from 4wheelparts. those guys are arsholes

did you get the parts new or used?
If used check the shock ends, uca hiems, and have the shocks charged. If you check the shocks you will loose enough pressure that you need to charge them.

did you call Greg? Check and make sure the lower shock bolt is tight. Check the top bolt to the adapter.

Oh Yeah, and with heimed uppers you do realize your suspension noise can be felt and heard a lot more.

The bushed suspension parts are quieter, and easier to care for. The heimed stuff is higher performance(lateral side to side and front to back forces do not change the suspension geometry do to bushing compression), louder(all input is sent straight to frame attachment points, and through frame), and more maintenance(have to clean and lube heims)

After around 15k I have a little play in my heims, and will be replacing them after I get done with my Utah(salted Roads) and Mojave Rd(caustic dust) trips:)

How did they come, were the hats mounted on them? The 4x4 is body down do to the spring retainer clearance on the axle. Mine are saws and have a different(longer) rod end(that I can fit do to shock hoops) so they are body up.

Best bet is call Greg as I learn most of what I know by breaking unbreakable stuff:laugh:

Jack up the truck and stick a bar under the tire. Have some one lift the tire up and down, and see whats moving. Hard to tell not being there, but it sounds like something is loose.
The way one side started, and then the other side went.
