Possible suspension problem

Lately I've been hearing a weird clunking noise coming from down near the front and rear suspension on my 2008 F150 4x4.

For the rear it only seems to occur when I'm accelerating out of a turn after slowing down while entering the turn. It almost sounds like the axle is shifting around under the leaf springs but I can't feel it.

In the front it occurs when I'm accelerating after a stop with the wheels turned in either direction at almost full lock.

I did have the brakes done at 30k with replacing the front rotors. I'm not sure if maybe when the dealer did the work they didn't tighten something properly and that's the cause of if these are normal noises.

I'm just trying to figure out if there's anything to check before taking it in to the dealer.

I have 2008 King Ranch 4x4 that I put a 2.5" leveling kit up front and 3" inch blocks to replace the OEM 2" blocks in the rear and I am having the same noises. I took it too the dealership and the mechanic and I spent a good hour under the chassis looking for rubs, paint missing, and loose hardware. Didn't find a thing. If you figure this out please let me know it's driving me crazy. Thanks.
