Default Clunking Sound After doing TF 2" Lift

So 2 weeks ago I put in a 2 inch lift from TF. I watched all videos on how to and read everything needed from RAVE Manual. It went pretty straight forward and my friend and I replaced all parts easily. Now when I drive over any bump.dip..etc significant on the road I have this clunking coming from the suspension. I think it is either front right or rear right. I took off wheels again and checked things but do not notice anything out of the ordinary.

Please help with any suggestions you may have on what to look for. Thanks! Sound was not there prior to for sure.

Did you get the front lower spring seats bolted down tight? On my 3" lift it took some serious man handling to get them to line up with the new springs and shocks in.

My thoughts are similar to Jafir's. I recently replaced my front springs and had a bear of a time getting them to seat properly. I had to re-do the front right 3 times before I got it settled and could bolt it all down.

Maybe your bushes are worn out. And its now showing because the lift has added additional stress. Check the rear bushes for play.

Have you replaced your drive shaft yet? If not you need to do so soon.


On the noise did the rubber bushings come out on one end of a shock?

I almost guarantee it's a spring that's not settled correctly. Sometimes you have to find some feature to articulate on and hit the spring in with a rubber mallet.
