Mustang II front end clicking? need help

I just finished installing mustang II on my 71 torino and wow what a difference. It handles so much better however the front end clicks when I hit a bump. I checked all nuts and bolts and everything is tight. It almost sounds like the springs. I installed 2" drop spindles on it and now clicks when I go over a bump. It sounds as though the springs aren't tight and when I hit a bump they move and click. Has anyone else had this problem? any help is greatly appreciated

Mine doesn't click. How old are the front shocks? Eventually they go bad and they start clicking.

everything is brand new, it only has a few hundred miles on it. I thought maybe it was the sway bar but I went under and tightened every nut, bolt and shook everything I could and I think it is coming from the springs but I don;t know what it is. It was at first coming from just the pass side but now it is both sides. any other ideas? It drives fine no wobles that would make me think a control arm was loose everything handles tight just a cluncking noise? Thanks
