Default RC 3" Lift Issues?

Ok, so a couple of weeks back I put the RC 3" lift on my 93 2dr 2wd Cherokee. It looks great and I love it. So now the question, When I am driving every once in a while I get this clunk sound through the break pedal. Also if I am turning at slower speeds it seems to do it as well, almost like a CV joint in my old Nissan years ago. I have checked my brake lines to see if they might be hung up and they are perfect and have plenty of reach. It is not that big a deal but, this morning when I pulled away from a light the break was squeeling and so I tapped the brake and it stopped. Then made it home (2miles) with out it happening again. Has anyone had this issue or any thoughts as to what I might be dealing with? Thanks.

This is posted in the wrong section. Im guessing the sound is coming from the front of the jeep and not the back right? Did you install the spring holders that hold it to the axle? Id check your U-bolts if its the rear. Id also retighten them if you havent done so.

I am not sure what spring holders are, so I guess I did not install them. Yes the noise is coming from the front.

Ok, sorry I do know what spring holders are and yes they are on and tight. I went through the entire lift and tightened everything, not that anything was loose anyway. It seems like this gremlin may live with me for a while.
