New 6" Fabtech Clunking noise in 4WD....

I have had my lift for about a weeks worth of driving now. I recently had to use 4WD and when I did so I heard a clunking noise. When I shut it off it continued. Then after I back up for like 10 feet it stops. Anyone have any ideas? Also I am getting rims and tires put on today. I am supposed to drop off the truck monday to the shop. Should I wait on the rims and tires so the shop doesnt have a scapegoat to avoid responsibility?

If you paid someone to install it I would take it back now. It would be a guess right now without hearing or seeing it.

My friend and I figured it out. It looks as if the sway bar should have been spaced a quarter of an inch lower and then there would be no rubbing in 4x4. I think this is something I can handle on a saturday afternoon.

The sway bar drop brackets are driver and passenger side specific and if put on improperly it will cause the driveshaft to hit the sway bar while engaged. You either need to switch the brackets from one side to the other or flip them around from their current position and all will be well.
