Flake to...I mean, Fadetogray, why no post?

I'm very interested because I get a clunk too, and its with just a Teraflex leveling kit. I'd love to hear the cause

When I did mine, I got a clunk. It was related to the exhaust manifold flange bolts shaking lose then off. Had to remove them for the control arm drop brackets. Right as rain now.

I may have had the same problem, turned out I needed to remove the BDS adj track bar and grease the crap out of it, no more clunk or creek.

After digging around for over half a day, it ended up being related to the way the rear XRC bumper was installed, which i had messed up.

Not AEV lift related at all, despite everyone who looked at it, thinking that's what it was.

New AEV lifts should not have this problem

Glad the OP found his clunk
