It’s entirely possible I have a issue elsewhere, I am also running SPC UCA’s and I am in Moab so there’s a bad history with those here in the last week.

I’ll add that the noise emanated from the floor board at my wife’s feet and almost went away after the second shop torqued it to spec.
My number one mission once I get home is to find a good shop for alignments, I’ve been through more of them than I care to admit. I went through the timeline with my wife earlier and it’s been 4 at home.

We have cam bolt kits in stock too. Those may be unassigned and used for install's or when we selling complete arm kits.
We also have every possible combination of OEM and/or aftermarket rubber bushings and all ball-joints for the uppers and lowers. We have 5? different upper control arms in stock too, OEM, jobber replacement, Dobinsons, SPC, OME and maybe another I'm not thinking of. Ball joints and bushings are sold as kits or individually as needed.
Lastly, we work super regularly with a few fantastic alignment shops nearby that know 4x4's and specifically 200's extremely well. One does a few alignments for us each week including many 200 builds, $300K+ Maltec 200 owners like them to drive really straight and smooth

If you have direct URLs, I’m inclined to order them for an upcoming refresh on my 2016. Appreciate all you guys do for the community!

I made it to the dealership this morning at 645am. They took it back by 710 and I’ve been pacing around ever since. I decided to replace both LCA’s to just be done with it. I’ll keep the old ones to rehab I guess.

LCA’s installed and alignment done. Big surprise to find out it was covered under warranty, I was not expecting that.
Shop boss had driven it around for a while and he said it all checked out. I drove around for a few minutes, no popping, obvious big improvements in steering feel and overall tracking.
I leave.
About 20 miles in I hear it… POP. WTF
The service manager takes pity on me and waits after closing for me to come back. We drive around and it’s still popping. Shop boss rides and drives. We do circles all through the parking lot. Popping is different than before. Harder to cause and completely random at times. Turning left will cause it some then it stops but will come back going right. Big bumps might cause it but so can little ones. Most prevalent in passenger floor board, sound is a strong sudden pop at times, creeping pop at others. Sometimes very jolting.
They rule out suspension and think it could be body mount or maybe skid plates.
I’m climbing under there this morning to root around for a little bit then we’re hitting the road. As long as it’s not a safety issue I’ll live with it.
The change in truck behavior is astounding. Truck is planted and there is not any wandering or weirdness in the steering wheel. Changing the LCA’s solved issues, some I’d just gotten used to.
Dealership guys at Karl Malone in Draper made the Christmas card list.
On to Colorado.

It’s been a few days since LCA install and I figured I’d update this thread so we can put it to bed.
I did loosen and shift around the Dissent skids in the hotel parking lot. I then tightened everything up a hit the road. There were a few more popping episodes after that within the first 50 miles but absolutely zero since. We hit trails without issue, did Alpine loop without issue (except for bashing my ball mount against a rock backing to reposition on a switchback bad enough to slightly damage mount but it will get us home. If not for mount it could have been my 40G LRA).
I can only assume the popping was the skid plates. The popping coinciding with the LRA issues had me concerned but it was just bad timing coupled with distance from home, towing, and my tendency to doom scroll looking for advice or possible diag…just the perfect storm of issues all at once.
My next move is to look into a suspension refresh. Currently, truck is sitting at 40k on the current set up with 80% of those miles towing on and off road. So far it’s been great but I think I will switch things up and try different components. Sounds like more rabbit holes for me, I’m open for suggestions as well.
Anyway, thanks again to everyone who humored me and offered help and advice. This thread lead me to the superior warranty repair and was a good place for clearer heads to chime in and keep me from jumping blindly. I was serious about those beers and dinners, yall rock!
