Default Clunking in the rear?

I just finally installed my Leaf pack from my 4.5" RC lift. I had the AAL for probably 6 months and never had any noises and now every time I go over a nice dip or bump, I get a clunk noise from the rear....sounds like its from the right rear.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Might be the bushings on your upper shock mounts, how old are your shocks?
