Leveling issues
I’m new to the forum so bear with me if this issue has already been addressed.
i just installed a motofab 2.5 front, 1.5 rear leveling kit the other day. Now I have a rattle/clunk sound when I hit little bumps in the road. My first thought was the sway bar links but they’re tight. Then. I noticed it seams to go away when you put it in 4x4. I torqued the hub nuts as specified to 20 ft/lbs. the vacuum lines are all attached and the 4x4 seems to engage just fine. It’s on a 2014 FX4 with the ecoboost 3.5.
thoughts? Is a hub sticking?

You're experiencing the effects of a level kit that's too high. 2" max and then you'll still likely have issues like you're having as well as accelerated wear on suspension and driveline parts.
Do it the right way and install a true lift kit. Problem solved.

that would be my luck. I removed the lift, now I have a whining issue. So who knows, I’ll be taking it to the shop soon to get the front driveline checked out. Bad hub or vacuum actuator, something isn’t right.
