noise after leveling kit install

installed my leveling kit on wed of this week which I used the 2" hell bent steel and now it seems like I have some sort of clatter goin on under the front end over bumps, I made sure everything is tight and I have doubled checked everything but cant seem to find anything loose.
any ideas

Thanks
JIM

Usually when someone complains of clunks after a levelling kit people on here will tell the guy to torque the hell outa the tack bar and shock bolts (but I have no experience myself)

the rollpins in the shock bushings, they have to be wide enough where you have to hammer them in, just did my level kit and with the tighter rollpins (horizontally) the rattles stopped.

quadman...when you say bottom side do you mean the lower mounting bolt?
I should of explained in my first post I HAD the kit installed I didnt do the work myself. I did on my 03 but Im trying to remember everything I did on the 03 and not having much luck. So with that said Im not sure what they loosened or took apart to install the kit
