    I just installed the Rough Country 2.5" lift kit (which did not come with/require wedges) on my WJ. I am now occasionally hearing popping coming from the steering mechanism. Has anyone else experienced this? What should I do about it? (Edit: I have a 2002 Grand Cherokee with coil spring suspension)

    Welcome to the site! I would check to make sure all the installed parts are tight.

    Welcome! If the popping sound is recent following RC lift installation then any of those suspension bits+parts may be suspect. Check each bolt is torqued to specs as mentioned as some fasteners may need retightening. Some suspension parts unrelated to the recent lift could be worn ball joints, tie rod ends or track bar mounts etc. State the RC lift kit installed. Post up a few pics of that lifted GC as it probably looks great.
