Default couple quick questions

First of all I was wondering how much my jeep is worth. Its a 96 xj se 4.0l auto 4 door. white. 4.5" rc full spring lift SYE craiger new v5 rims new 31" pro comp extreme a/t. brand new cat muffler and tail pipe. cd player. fully tuned up 132000 miles and not a speck of rust and no dents. My second question is after i put my lift in i started getting a wicked bad clunking noise coming from the rear of the jeep. it sounds like one of the leafs is trying to come through the floor. i checked and rechecked and the checked again all the bolts i touched and i can't seem to find this clunking. could it be the rear shackle? i am lost!! thanks

It would help to have a pic of your Jeep. Can't really judge what you can't see. That clunking noise might be your exhaust hitting your tank or floorboards.

Can you post more details on the clunk?
When does it happen?
Accelerating?
Going over bumps?
Foot off the gas?
Low speeds? High speeds? All the time?
Is it a repetitive clunk or randomly occuring?
Have someone ride in the back and try and pin point the general location. Have them hold their hand on the floorboard in the area and see if they can feel the feed back through the floor when the clunk occurs...

I think the value of your truck is going to be based on what a XJ lover is willing to buy it for. You can easily go to Kelly blue book and find the book price for the truck, but if you say it's that nice and it catches someones eye you might get the price your looking for. You could also go to ebay and craigs list and look at similar jeeps for sale and get a ball park fig.
