Default i found my clunk :)

i was looking under jeep the other day and had a pry bar, ,just seeing if i could move anything, well i went to the lower control arm on the pass side and i was able to move it over a 1/2" front to back not side to side, this lift is only 8 months old(3") from RC,, Hoping this is also the cause of my lil vibration,,,so i call up RC told him my problem and there gonna send me out a new set of bushings... just gotta say AWESOME customer service there,, cant wait to get them in..,, thx for the help guys

Mine turned out to be a loose torque bar bracket.
Very little indication to show any signs, but after tightening up the four bolts,

ALL the clunking is gone.!

they just enforce the rule that you get what you pay for lol
theres better out there but it also costs more, but their adjustable arms are just as good as a set that re could make, there comes a point when a piece of metal is just that a piece of metal no matter whos sticker is on it, i used my rc adjustable arms as temporary's until i had my long arm parts together then i cut the bushing off of one end and used the jonny joints out of them for my lcas on my long arm kit, as for springs i will say go with re, theyre nice and soft
