What's up with the clicking coming from the rear shocks?

[McM]

It's been driving me crazy. When I'm driving on normal roads and hit bumps it sounds like there is a bolt or shock mount loose in the rear. I looked everywhere and found it's coming from the shock itself. When you jump up and down on the bumper you hear click , clack, click clack. I thought there was something wrong until I went to my dealer and checked out 2 new 2020 raptors and they did the same thing! What's going on with the valving on these? Why are they so noisy? The front doesn't sound like this.

My '20 does not do that, it's quiet like you would expect.

Have you looked into it? Most people won’t notice it. Push up and down real hard on the bumper and bounce the truck. You get no click, click,click. Went to the dealer and both 2020”s did it

It’s funny you mention this. (I have an 18, so no live valve, and I don’t hear clicking.) I was looking at Fox 3.0 on the FRPP site the other day....they note some clicking is normal....wonder if it’s something in the valving of the newer Fox shocks...

My 2020 never did this with the Fox shocks. I did however just replace them with Kings as I am not a fan of the Live Valves.

I know basically all bypass shocks internal or external will make clicking noises. If you buy after market bypass shocks it will be much more prominent sound.
Your trucks suspension completely stock?

Isn't the clicking just the internal valve opening and closing as it goes through it's compression range, exactly as it's designed and intended to do? These shocks are for offroading not a ultra quiet ride through the Starbucks.
