Default 07 jeep jk - Something is loose!!!!

I have a 2.5 Budget Booster lift and treadwright 33's. When driving slow and mostly around turns, I can feel something loose. Feels like a clunking over small bumps, as if the the strut was not bolted down. I have replaced both struts, swaybar links, tie rod ends and the drag link (both ends). When the vehicle is up on a lift I cannot feel anything loose. I'd really like to figure this out before having to goto the dealer.

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!

I had a clicking/clunking sound after my budget boost install and one of my JKS swaybar link posts was loose. Not sure if your symptoms are the same though.

Have you read the first two posts and watched the YouTube videos in my write-up thread on Diagnosing Death Wobble and non-DW a Shimmies & Wobbles?
