Well, I've had my Full Traction 3" Ultimate Lift on my JK since March and have put on over 10,000 miles on it and no clanking so far

If its a clank, it could be your sway bar links, they'll make some noise. but its probley your track bars.



You need to greese your track bar bushings with white lithium greese. Dont be shy, soak them down!, dont torque. Just tighten them as much as you can turn them...

then give one more turn after that.

Problem solved

I ordered the grease from Dave at Northridge, so hopefully if I keep it greased at regular intervals, I should be ok?
