You should take a look at offroadtb.com our sister site, that is probably where you came up with using them. There are a number of us using them over there. With that, I have not had a problem with any clunking on mine.

Sounds like your metal sleeve needs more wall thickness to better match the bolt OD. Have you contacted Skyjacker to ask them for alternate sleeves? Are you absolutely certain the clunking is from there and not a loose anti-sway bar end link? Or one of the eight control arm mounting bolts or two Panhard bar bolts or the anti-sway bar mounting bushings and brackets?

Hey roadie yeah its loose in the sleeve have washers on both sides but I'm gonna try a nylon sleeve inside the bushing . Haven't been having good luck with n8030 for some reason I'm in my second set . I ordered them from auto anything and with in a month both were leaking fluid . I'd like to try a different set of shocks . Any suggestion or part numbers ? I have marks 3 inch lift other than that everything is good had gm dealer look it over good last time and clean bill of health:smile:
