My 2004 Rodeo, Suspension project and the need of some help

Hi peeps, Im new to these forums and i thought I'd just introduce myself to you everyone and my car, also what i have done to it and the need of help towards the end, enjoy

First off, my name is Ugur, I was born in Turkey but people call me OJ as a nick name. I am 16 and I am in a family of 5 and yet a nephew to come to the world to make a family of 6. I live in the Western states of Australia, (Perth) and currently studying to hopefully to become a Mechnical Engineer, Enjoy the pictures.

When i first bought my car



Took off my canopy and installed a sports bar

I haven't got a picture of the finished of shackles but ill just move on...

New Rancho add a leaf kit


Overview picture of undoing the leafs


One side done, although its quite hard seeing the new leaf


Same picture but a little bit different angle


I didn't pictures of the otherside due wanting to finishing it off quickly, also i have installed 2" bodylifts but that was done long time ago

The front measurements are roughly 20-21.5 cm space difference between the tyres and the itself


The rear measurements are roughly 30cm (so basically the whole ruler)


I dont have a 'before' picture of the rear but this is the 'after' picture


The whole overview from the rear



So far this project has been fun however, after I have installed the 'add a leaf', there are shutter sounds coming from the rear only from 10 - 20km/h and while turning around the corner alittle bit fast,
has anyone had this problem before and is their a solution to fix this?

But yet to come are:
2.5 exhuast -done
285/75/16(33") tyres with rims that have +20 offset
Front torsion bar raising

I hope you guys enjoyed the picture and hopefully there will be more

Thanks OJ
