Going over speed bumps, I’m getting a clunking sound. After a quick look last pm, I noticed that the front trackbar was loose and they did not enlarge the bottom opening. Not sure if it’s needed since they were able to screw in the front TB. Thoughts?

I have a clunk in the rear, Metalcloak said it's due to the top 4 coil wraps on the rear coil springs. The top four wraps are normally completely collapsed and when you go over a bump you hear the wraps coming apart and then back together. They suggested I use the rubber things from the stock springs on the 2nd and 4th wraps from the top.

@DeezJT it looks like something weird is going on with the front end. Is the shock disconnected? It might just be the picture but it also looks like the axle is pushed too far to the passenger's side. The sway bar link looks like it's leaning a lot.

Here u go. It doesn’t look centered but when flexed, the bumpstops will be centered.

Looks like you used the existing hole? I was wondering about where it would hit. Directions said to center it on the plate, but it looked like my bumpstops were hitting a little off center from the old ones....
