Default question for ppl that are lowered to ~2 finger gap

i'm lowered to ~1-2 finger gap, and whenever i hit a decent size ditch or a bump, i get this horrible crunch/squeeze/noise from my front suspension. does this happen to others that are lowered ~1-2 finger gap or is something need to be fixed on mine?? please help. thanks. i want it to just be a solid thud going over these ditches but i get this awful sound. i'm on ground controls and koni reds.

I dont get any sound from the from but from the rear I got scraping sounds from it hitting the guards, Just needed to remove the liner and take a hammer to the lip and its all better.

im tucking all the way around. and it quit suspension wise. some times i get a noise just from having a bad ball joint that i need to change.

I think he meant quiet?

Check your ball joints, they can squeak, as can worn out bushings.
