Default Front end knock

I installed the TF 3" lift recently and now I have some sort of knock underneath the engine, can't tell if it's the sway bar, springs, shocks, I have no clue. Anyone have any idea where to start? The new rubber is being put on now along with an alignment, I'm hoping they either find something loose or the alignment fixes the issue.... And it only does it turning

How long have you had the lift on?

Two days, I can't figure it out. Like I said I'm having the alignment done at the moment but for the past two days it just sounds like something loose, almost as if the wheels are tightened down... If that makes any sense

Maybe the coils aren't set in the proper position?

Have you hammered them in location? if they aren't seated properly(inside the upper retainer) then you can have some annoying sounds...ask me how I know

Guess I'll try that first. I did notice that where the old coil was seated at the top was off a little but it wouldn't fit on the bottom seat any other way.

Could it be the Front Driveline tapping something when spinning? Maybe the new angle has moved it too close to something while turning.

May also want to re-torque everything on the front suspension.
