Happens pretty regularly, anyone else notice this? Never happens in 4x4 High. Just replaced stock tires with Titan 489xt's (25x8 front and 25x11 rear) and have not rode it since then.

Ray--- Are the wheels tight/Check to see that they are torqued to spec.? Suspension tight? Frt/Rr hubs tight? How about the FRT. Diff. mount bolts? Does it sound like it comes from frt OR rr?

kind of sounds like it is right underneath me or slightly in front of me. Only happens in 4x4 low, not high.

I get the same "rachetting" sound every time I am braking hard or downshifting coming down a hill on my Honda Foreman. Any ideas?
