    I was able to find out the lower end link bolt connected to the lower control arm was loose. I just tightened that up and the clunking has disappeared. Thank you for everybody’s ideas and suggestions.

    Sway bar end links strike again. Probabaly 50% or more of our clunk complaints get traced back to these.

    Are you happy with the 4600s?

    I like the 4600’s but I when I got the truck, it had crappy Monroe shocks and struts. So it’s a world of difference compared to that experience.
    Are you have a bad experience with the 5100’s?

    Thank you for the response.

    I have 6112/5160s, and they have always been really stiff.
    They gave me a 2.5" lift.
    I'm thinking about lowering the truck back down to stock.
    It's getting harder for the wife to get in and out of the truck.

    I've still got the OEM black shocks in my attic, but they are too soft.
    It was like riding in a boat..

    That makes sense.
