Ok I did a front leveling kit on a 2025 Gladiator rubicon. Eibach spring, teraflex 2" shock risers, Mopar loner lower control arms and a JKS adjustable track bar. Took it in to have an alignment and now when I drive it, tap the brakes and the front suspension compresses I get a clunk noise out of the driveshaft carrier area. It does it even when I just idle forward and tap the brakes. After laying down and another person drives it I can see the front compress and then sounds like a cuink from the center driveshaft carrier. Anyone have any ides what it might be. Thanks in advance

Check the torque on your lower control arms and track bar, I had to retorque mine a couple times and then paint marked them

Did it start after the leveling kit or after the alignment?
After the alignment what are you thinking? My thought was the did something wrong or didn't retighten something correctly. But not sure at this point

I’m thinking they may have adjusted something, or loosened to adjust and didn’t tighten.

I’d start with checking your lower control arms

I will start there, thanks for the advice.
