    I recently installed the Westcott lift on my 2023 TRD PRO. I've started noticing a rumble or popping noise while braking in reverse, turning, and at low speeds such as pulling into a parking spot. It is not loud, but definitely heard without radio on. It kind of sounds like brake pads grabbing and releasing but I'm not sure. I'm not sure if it was present before the lift was installed (which I did). I've made sure everything is torqued correctly. I thought it could be the TRD skid plate so I removed it and the noise is still present. Truck only has 3500 miles on it which makes me think its something to do with the lift, but everything seems OK. Has anyone experienced this? Please chime in if so. I'll try to video the noise later.

    Edit - I do have 1 inch wheel spacers that don't appear to be touching anywhere when stationary, but maybe they are rubbing when in reverse? I'll remove those and report back.

    If it only happens at full lock or up against stops sounds like CV joint. The only other thought is tire rub. Did you put larger tires on your truck?

    It doesn't necessarily only happen at full lock. I put 35 inch BFG K02s on. Removed mudflaps.

    Hmm. Someone else posted about front end sounds related to their front differential going bad. Ill see if I can find the post.
