It drops like I don't have shocks. It only happens after the bump, not as I hit the bump. It sounds painful, and I only need a a small drop to feel it. Either I feel it or I don't - there is no in-between. I though it was the struts being hyper extended or hitting the max travel. It only happens when the wheels drops or is in the air. It has always been like this since the lift install, but only when I go off-roading or if hit a pothole I feel it. I though it was the soft dampers, but I don't think that anymore. My theory was that if the struts have an 8" travel, the neutral point/center is having 4" to collapse and another 4" to extend. Since I lifted the car, the struts now have only 2" to extend but 6" to collapse. So if I drive over and off a bump, the 2" is not enough to push the wheel down and fill the holes. Now, I am thinking that it might be more the end links cannot accommodate the angle at max extension. or maybe the CV joints are hitting max angle and max extension.
Nothing rattles, nothing feels lose. Here are a couple of pics, but nothing looks out of place. I do agree that the torsion beam doesn't like to bend; one rear wheel is always on the air because the wheel can't drop down (as with an independent rear suspension). I am going to take it to a 4x4 shop to have the car raised to see what they find. I might bite the bullet and buy some adjustable end links. IDK what else could it be. Bad alignment maybe? I get pressure codes when fast off-roading (by fast I mean 20 mph)
