Single "clunk"?
About a month ago I put on a 2" level lift in the front (2wd) and now I have noticed since I got the front end aligned with the new bushings, that I get a single "clunk" only in reverse and if I'm turning my wheels.
Any ideas on what it causing this?

I going through this issue as we speak. I have had my alignment done twice and cant get it the way it should be. Ref the clunk, I too have that issue and narrowed it down to my tie rod ends. Once I turn the wheel, at a certain point, the tie rod pops. Travel up and down. I am going to replace all tie rods ends and see what happens since I had already replaced the ball units.
If I was to guess, our 4x2 trucks aren't meant to be lifted. I think it throws off the i beam's and radius arms from their neutral position.
My current alignment, the wheels are close to straight up and down.

My tie rod did the same thing when I would turn the wheel to certain spot. In my case the tie rod was loose. Put a bottle jack under the rod and jack it up until its snug and then re-tighten the bolt and see if that fixes the tie rod issue.
