clanking coming from front coil spacer

Every time i go over a speedbump or pothole unless im going really slow my front coil spacers will make this really horrible clanking noise and that cant be normal can it or safe?..and i know this is most likely common sense but i just want a reassuring opinion before i go take it to get looked at..do you think it needs tobe tightened

Are you certain its the spacers? If you installed the diff drop, it's quite possible that it's your skid plates rattling.

I going to say since I am in the same boat it is probably your strut bushings. That is unless you have replaced your struts when you put your spacers on.

Im also getting this minor clank. Its like a minor metal tapping sound u can hear it especially on a washboard type road. I was thinking of replacing those bushings with energy suspension poly ones. But i need to know the dimension of the stock bushing.
