Default Clunk noise

I put a 3in lift on my 2000 cherokee and I am starting to have a clunking noise coming from the passenger side rear, it's not all the time but mostly when I am turning to the left or a bump in the road but not all the time it's real random. I've checked all the nuts and bolts for tightness and removed my rear swaybar, exhaust is tight and everything looks good. I am starting to think it could be my rear brakes. Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks Wahoo

What did you use for the rear to lift it? I noticed when I switched from my stock shackles to some lift shackles they started hitting my tailpipe. I had to cut the rearward 4" off or so to clearance it.

I used new leaf packs from Rough Country.

Good enough. Did you make sure the leaf pack center pin got down in the hole on the spring perch? I've heard of this causing similar issues as the pack then shifts from time to time. Also check your upper shock mount for tightness.....assuming you replaced them.

I just put a RC 3" lift as well. However I am having the "clunk" from the break pedal or right under it, seems to be random and sometimes I can re-create it when turning. Any thoughts? Sorry, not trying to hijack your thread.
