Default Bad clunk with new front end parts

Does anyone have any idea what might be clunking in my front suspension? I just recently installed Hal coil-overs with drag springs, Profab K-member, BMR upper and lower A-arms and now the damn thing clunks very loud on the drivers side. I can even push the nose down when the car is setting still and it will do it. The front end of the car is low enough though that I can't find it by simply looking under the bottom. I can't find any broken welds or anything like that. It clunks almost all the time but then there are other times that it will stop, does anyone have any clues? Thanks if you can help.

No idea what the problem is but have you thought about putting the car on Rhino or a drive-on type ramp, have someone push up and down on the car while you're under there to see if you can't locate the problem.

Yeah,
I think I'm gonna have to go to the local alignment shop and have them either diagnose or see if they will let me pull it in just to take a look.
