Front end clunks and pops
Every time I take a left turn or the weight shifts to the right the front right pops some where. Also pops are audible and I can feel it when the suspension flexes. I have a 8” lift on it.
I looked at the leaf bushings and they are pretty blown. The leafs are rubbing the shackles metal on metal.. any ideas?

x2...
Might as well get check the other components as well if it has a lot of miles and bigger tires because the lift with bigger tires will put a lot of strain on front end components as well...

Leaf springs will pop, same with sway bar end links. I'd try saturating the leaf spring to shackle area with WD40 or your favorite spray on lube and see if the pop fades, it might help narrow down the possibilities.... Then move on to the other components (first thought would then be sway bar).
