    Okay not necessarily suspension here, but I'm wondering if I can find some help here.
    I have a 3" leveling kit in the front of my '18 crewmax, with a 1" block in the back. On left turns at about a 1/4 turn, and only going 20 to 30mph or less, there is a sound of something that sounds loose, qlmoat metal on metal, but no one can find anything upon inspection, and it doesn't effect the turn, and it can be felt lightly on the steering wheel. Would anyone have any idea what this might be? Or maybe you've experienced this?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Given you have 3” lift in front - could be the CV. How steep are the angles? Did the kit come with a diff drop?

    Seems problems arise fast when going over 2.5” of lift in front.

    Those things you've heard about the lifts above 3" I've heard too, and some say no problems ever, but I haven't been able to get past not wanting those problesm to arise. I don't believe it was a different drop, because it's really only the 3" donut added in
