Goodwin lowering springs rear tick

[murf1500]

I have a Lariat with 600 miles I just put goodwin lowering springs on. I am getting a ticking or clunking sound from the rear only when I hit bumps at low speeds, does not happen above 30mph. I have triple checked the install and I am looking for feedback on what could be causing this. I'm thinking maybe it's the sway bar end links because I've had the same issue on my WRX before, but I wouldn't think my end links would be bad out of the factory.

Looks great with the OEM 19s!

For the noise, did you loosen the rubber suspension bushings and re-tighten them with the truck sitting on its wheels at the new height? Not sure if this would be the cause of the noise but if you haven't done it there will be preload in the bushings which you don't want

I did support the rear suspension with a jack while I torqued the bolts. Think I'll try disconnecting the rear sway bar tomorrow and driving it.
Also, are the suspension bolts torque to yield?

My thoughts were to disconnect the sway bar and try and replicate the noise . Let us know if this is the fix

Also , how is the ride vs stock ??

Truck looks good!!

I disconnected the sway bar today and it was still making the noise. Took the springs out and checked the orientation and reinstalled for the third time and it is still making the sound. I guess I will just run them until the sound starts to get louder or I can't take it anymore and just go back to stock. This is really frustrating honestly.
As far as the ride goes, comfort level is close to stock, but feels more planted in turns.

Did you unbolt the upper shock mount or just unbolt the lower? If you did the upper, check the torque on those.

I did not undo the upper, just the lower.

I'd try throwing the stock rear springs back on it to see if the noise goes away

Otherwise just speed up above 35 MPH when approaching bumps : problem solved!
