Question Front spring sagg

Hey guys have a question. I have a 2000 x with the 7.3l and i am getting the big clunk under my feet. Crawled under and saw the rear of the spring shackle was rubbing on the frame i have noticed it sagging a little but didn't think it was that bad. I bought the truck lifted so i don't know what was done to it it has two blocks in the back but not sure what was done to front, any help. Thanks. I can post some pics if necessary.

I had a clunk up front and it was the anti-sway bar bushings that held it up to the frame. The link ends were fine but the bushings had about 1/2" of clearance.
