    Meh. Be conservative. It's fine. 2" is perfectly fine.

    For me personally, I'll level it and that about as far as I'll push it. I bout mine for reliability. Changing CV boots and wheel bearings is not why I spent the extra coin.

    OK, that's not bad. How about the front end? Springs? Spacers?

    So axle wrap most likely. Blocks will increase the axles leverage on the springs which are very flimsy to begin with

    Spacers I believe idk I didn’t do the lift all I know is he add a piece of metal on top of the spring and he said that it’s three inches and with the one inch block on the back it sits level

    They’re fine on full size trucks with stiff springs. Just need to be set up by someone with brain

    So you think the one inch block is causing axel wrap and that’s the clunking noise I’m hearing

    Sounds like he put a 3" spacer lift in the front end. If I were looking at your truck, I would take a good look at the front suspension.
    I base this on you telling me the noise comes from the front end of the truck and the lift installer put in a 3" spacer.

    So... 3 pages of back and forth on a poor picture.... inconsistent clunk....

    Nobody has said what has solved others issues of strange clunking....

    Rear clunk;
    A)Grab some zap straps, grab your spare tire tools crank you spare up to make sure it’s tight then zap strap your spare chain as it might be swinging back there hitting the rim.
    B) recheck torque on all bolts from lift.
    C) make sure all bolts on rear shackles are facing correct directions, not hitting anything while flexing.

    Front clunk;
    A) Lower control arm bolts check torque.
    B) sway bar into the coils.

    Drive shaft;
    A) grab a digital level and seriously compare two trucks on same flat ground what degree’s each segment is sitting at.
    **side note carrier bearing drops are the stopping point, using shims comes into play as well to change diff angles. (I have 2.75 inch rear lift and haven’t dropped my carrier bearing.)
