So I just got done with the lift on my ranger. Put a 6'' SJ class II. We aligned it half ass and the allignment place will do it more. Well when I have it in 4 wheel and I hit the gas I clunk noise comes from the front end. I looked under there everything is got clearence and nothing is hitting. Tommorow I'll check all bolts and nuts under there to see if there all tight, I'm pretty sure they are. Also when I was puttin' in the lift I roasted the clutch line in the inside frame rail taking off the rivets on the cross member. Opps! Got that fixed by a mechanic I know for $150. This clunking noise was not here before I put the lift in. I got a bunch of pics to show you all, but I got to get the USB cable for my camera to put 'em up.

u-joints maybe... I'd check there first as I've heard it recommended before. Can you feel it at all or is it just a sound?

I'm not very familiar with pre-98 Ranger 4x4s, but is your front driveshaft long enough to accomodate the increased operating angle? The ujoints could be maxed out if so...
