Always start with tightening all the bolts. Remember to check the sway bar connections. The top bolt on the front requires an allen head to hold it in place for your to tighten it.

from there make sure your springs are not bowing, they should be straight. Some folks (my self included) have not properly oriented the front spring isolators causing the springs to bow under pressure.The springs can rattle a bit which may be the noise.

If your concerned with the control arms. You can order a set of the mopar performance lift kit arms for around $80. Theyre designed for the MPP 2in lift so will help correct your front end geometry. I did this for my 2in lift aftet another forum member suggested it.

it could also be that your front sway bar just isn’t cutting it since the lift. Go on ebay and get a set of take off REAR sway bar connections and install them on the front. It will correct the angle of your front sway bar. This will take the body roll back out and make the handling better.

If none of that...then im stuck for the moment. Cant think of anything easy off the top of head

First thank you so much for your time .
I did order the 2" mopar lift to replace the daystar leveling kit
I'll try to tight up the lower arms .
Just in case do you have the part number for the back arms you mentions
