Just added a 2.5 ready lift leveling kit with 35's found some fox Rubicon shocks (new take offs) and now i have a hollow clunk while going over larger bumps at speed. Are the Rubicon shocks just incredibly stiffer or did I screw something up? Any tips would be greatly appreciated

Make sure all bolts are torqued to the correct amount. Had the same thing with a JKU, one of the rear shock mount bolts wasn’t tight enough.

My JKU did the same thing and I had to get one of my shocks replaced, also it may be a loose control arm or bushing from the lift. Check the tightening on the bolts from the lift.

With just adding the lift I’d check torque on all bolts. When I’ve had a clunk in the suspension I usually find either a shock or swaybar link loose.

I had this too and I missed one of the mount bolts when swapping out the shocks/springs. It drove me crazy for a day and half until I realized what it was...
