odd "looseness" coming from rear (OME HD lift)

Guys,

Trying to hunt down an odd "loose" feeling in the rear of my XK. I've had the OME lift on for about 4 months now, and it's really breathed some new life into the old Jeep. Lately, I've noticed what I feel like is some play from the rear.

It happens on very slight bumps. In the morning when I back out of the driveway, I have about a 1/2" crack I drive over, and it feels like something almost bounces back there. I've checked the torque on the sways and shocks multiple times, and they're tight. I had a Z28 in the past that had this same problem, and it was due to the top spring bushing being cocked. Given that I installed the OME lift myself and the visual inspection (my own) passed, I can't help but rule that out. Am I missing something here?

Thanks,
Ryan

You have the OME shocks?

Yep, bought the entire kit from JBA...front/rear OME struts/shocks, front/rear OME HD springs

Just gotta ask.... did you check to make sure your spare tire is nice and tight??

Gotcha covered there. Spare was the first thing I checked. Although my buddies are trying to guilt me into sticking in on the roof rack :)

If I had a roof rack, that's where MINE would go!!!!

Maybe a bad exhaust bushing and the pipe is clanging into something?
