Default Different noises after leveling kit?

installed a 2.5 inch leveling lift kit from rough country with new shocks, keys, u bolts, and small blocks in the rear. It's a nice kit and the truck is insanely smooth but when I hit a bump at a fairly slow pace the truck makes a popping sound I've been told and I kinda figured after you get new suspension parts it'll make some unsettling sounds so I'm brushing it off my shoulder but I'm still just wondering if there's any other possibilities. The rear shocks haven't been installed because the kit didn't come with enough bushings to install em so rough country is sending me a free set and I will take the truck back to the shop later to have em installed and i will also ask about the sounds and any suggestions people reply on this forum.

Insanely smooth? Maybe compared to a dumptruck. Even stock these trucks ride like crap.

I think mine rides fairly decent for a truck. Much better than the I-beam/Twin-Trac setup.
