Default Help with mopar 2" lift - rear trackbar?

So, after having my lift kit installed a couple weeks ago, we found this funny sh*t while in the trail (pic attached, iphone app wont let me place the pic right here).
Of course ut was clunking whenver it was bumpy.
Anyways, they fix that and everything seems OK, but now whenever i pass a speed bump not too slow, and the rear "drops" from the bump, there is a loud CLUNK! Only in this situation, only on moderate or hard "drops". (if i pass the speed bump slowly then no clunk).

Anyone has an idea of what could this possibly be? I'm tired of going to the dealership.

Maybe someone can help with the torque of trackbar bolts? So i can check that myself?

Any other help is appreciated.

I'll go out now and snap a puc of the rear, just in case you can see something wrong.

Your trk bar bolts should be torqued to 125 ft lbs. Check the trackbar for possible contact with the rear spring on pass side. Also check torque on your control arms.

Handy info here.....
