Default Clunking In Front End When Hitting Big Bumps

I had camber kits put in and im tucking a bit all around, i also have 205/55/16 for winter tires and everytime i hit a big bump i hear clunking noise in the front like if the tires are hitting the upper arm or camber kit
or maybe the tires are just rubbing??? but it really doesnt sound like rubbing....i know what that sounds like
anyone know what it might be???

TIA

check your control arm clearance. I had this problem where the upper control are was catching the inner fender. To fix it you have to grind some of the inner fender not too hard but just annoying. Jack it up and look on the end of the control arm for scratches and stuff.

ok so I tried to stiffen up the front...the only thing that did was rattle my kidneys
my lude is pretty low
maybe I should bring it back up all around a bit....but whats weird is, before I went to go get my camber kits installed and winter tires put on, I was at 1 finger gap all around, now with the winter tires which are 205/55/16(thats all Tire Rack had and I needed winter tires) the tires are a bit tucking
I want to raise it back up but I cant cuz I dont have $$$ for another alignment right now

anyone care to throw in a suggestion/comment???
