Default Popping sound in the front end????

I have a 2015 F150. I put a 2.5" rough country leveling kit on it. Occasionally I would get a pop in the front end when turning. It is getting progressively worse. Any suggestions?

If she starts locking and dropping, id take her in.

axels will make a popping noise if something isn't right. I'd double check and make sure everything has been tightened properly, and check the obvious, like tires rubbing. Let us know what you found, I purchased a 2.5" RC level and have yet to install it.

Ok, I did a little investigating today. There's one correction, the lift is a Ready Lift not a Rough Country.
But anyway the popping sound I'm getting is the STEERING KNUCKLE hitting the STRUT SPRING. Why is it hitting it ? And what can I do to stop that from happening ? Any suggestions ?

The ball joint angle on that looks extreme!

I forgot to mention, that picture was taken with the wheels off. It doesn't touch when it's on the ground but with the wheels turned and the weight to one side it rubs
