Default Grinding noise…

Morning gents,

I recently replaced the old, warn out original leafs on my 87’ K5 4x4 with a 4” Rough Country lift kit.

As I drove her home, I realized heard a new grinding noise coming from under the rig that I have never heard / felt before. As I figured it out, it would only happen at highway speeds (55+) and only when I let off the gas pedal quickly.

This noise has never happened before the lift. I also have a rebuilt 700R4 transmission as of 7/2024. And it has ran flawlessly since I’ve had it. No issues, no noises since I’ve had it.


Any guidance, wisdom or tips / tricks?
