kore installed...strange clunk

I recently installed the recon kit in my 02, i had 150,000 miles on my original shocks and it does handle the big bumps a lot better. I can now fly over washboard bumps without even feeling them. The on highway ride didn't improve as much as I had hoped considering my original shocks were junk but I guess there's nothing I can do.

The truck was in good shape before the install but now whenever I hit a medium size bump on the highway I get this slight clunk every time. I have a dss steering brace, all nuts and bolts are tight, but I can't seem to figure out where this clunk is coming from. I had a 2 inch spacer before the recon kit so my front end alignment didn't change, I'm not sure if my track bar is making noise now or what. Anybody have any ideas?

My guess your lower shock mount bolt... You need to tighten the bejesus out of them. I'll be tightening mine for the second time since installing my bilsteins this afternoon...
