2.5" AS Leveling Kit question

Anyone hearing a clunking noise when hitting bumps after installing a 2.5" AS Leveling Kit? Just wondering if this is normal.

I have been wondering the same thing, I installed the Hell Bent Steel 2.5" and hear it most of the time when I am turning and hit a bump

Some of the kits cause the coilspring to contact the control arm at full suspension droop. Autospring started designing their kit with a slight offset to prevent this.

I haven't noticed any clunking yet, but I've only had it on for a week. I'll pay more attention.

so the clunking is no big deal? 2006FX4, do you have a picture of your truck with the 2.5" AS and the 3" Block? I am thinking about doing the block in the back.
