Clinking sound from front end

I have noticed a weird clink clanking sound coming from my front end. Recently I took my hubs off to clean them and afterwards I started to notice the sound seems like it gets louder when you turn right. The sound reminds me of a CV joint on a front wheel drive but not so much of a clacking sound more like something metal falling or rubbing when the wheel turns. Truck is a 2001 f350 4wd with 8inch lift and 38's.

To me it sounds like it is coming from the drivers side but that is where I am always sitting. It is not real noticeable sometimes and then some times it is louder after you drive it for awhile. I recently had the 8inch kit put on and I never noticed it before that.
