So when I put the super lift on my xk I took it out for a test and everytime I hit a big hole I had this weird popping sound and then the same thing happens when I flex it. If anybody has some advise that would be awesome.

Start with disconnecting your sway bars and see if the noise goes away. If it does your sway bar bushings are bad which is a likely cause that surfaces after lifting.

Sorry to hear that but you must of had warning sings of part failure for some time. A loud knock or pop is a warning sign that something is wrong.

No problem man it takes minuets to disconnect the sway bar links it's just to easy to check if that's the cause. Just let us know if you still have the pop disconnected and we can help you narrow it down from there.
