    Recently put Fox 2.5's on the front of the truck, getting some clunking and some play in the oem sway bar end links and bushings. Any recommendations?

    Are your Foxs OE length or mid- or long-travel? You may well need to get extended length end links to accommodate. Ones from Overland Custom Design. OrDobinsons from Exit Offroad.

    Also, you inherently changed the geometry of your suspension. Your bushings may well just be squeaking cause theyre sitting at a different angle. You remove the mount and put new grease in there/replace those?

    They're extended travel, replaced the UCA's as well. It's more of a clunking, the squeaking stopped after the sway bar relocate. The end links are loose, I can grab a hold of them and rattle them some.

    May well be the end links. There shouldnt really be any play though. Could it be outer tie rod end links? UCA bolt to knuckle? UCA through bolt to frame? Wheel bearing in knuckle? Any reason to suspect anything else like that?
