I have a regular cab rt that was lowered. I do hear a bit more road noise now but I have also noticed a clunking sound in the rear passenger side(at least that is where is sounds from in cab while driving). The setup is a belltech 2/4 with performance shocks and belltech rear sway bar. Any ideas on what the sound may be?

Also make sure your swaybar end links and panhard bar bolts are tight. My 2015 recently started developing a clunk in the rear, and both end links had a bolt that was slightly loose, and I was able to put another 1/2 turn on 1 of the panhard bar bolts. Everything is quiet again since tightening them up.

The culprit was the rear shocks were not tightened. Guy that installed it said it was a rookie mistake and he fixed the issue. Now all that's left is getting the alignment tweaked. First alignment has the steering wheel slightly between 12 and 1.
