I installed my lowering kit as most know...3/4 Belltech...i took it on a little trip, BTW it looks good, rides like stock, and handles DAMN GOOD!...

My question is there is like a click that goes up and down with my speed...It seems to be coming from the Drivers rear side...It starts at about 5 mile and hour and it gets faster as i go up an speed, and slower as i go down... Sounds almost like there is somethings tuck in my tire but i checked and there is not anything there...Tires are brand new and they are all inflated to the proper psi...SO what could be making that noise?

O and P.S. going 85mph 90% of the time my turbo truck got 18.32mpg :) and thats even with a few WOT bursts!

Just a thought. Pinion angle. Did the Belltech kit come with pinion shims? When I lowered mine two inches it caused some headaches for me.

yeah I instelled them with the big end facing the fron of the truck...

Its not fast enough click for pinion tho...doesnt the drive shaft on these trucks spin 3.55 times faster then the wheels do...that would mean that click would be going like 240 mph...and it def wasnt going that fast...

the pinion from just looking is on a straight dead line with the tranny..

Make sure the e-brake cable on the driver's side tire isn't rubbing.
Check the axle vent tube, is it hitting or dragging?
Inspect your driveshaft for rub marks, it can hit on the gas tank strap or kmember.
