I had my shocks adjusted to mid perch a few months ago and around the same time I noticed they now clunk every time a go over just about every bump, especially at lower speeds. I even feel it through the floorboard. I know the shocks do make noises but this would seem a bit excessive to me. Does this sound normal or should I get them checked out? Everything was retorqued, so I don't think anything is loose as a result of mid perch adjustment.

That's part of mid perch. My truck was undriveable at mid perch. It would bounce through turns with small bumps.

I am at mid perch and love it, never had any issues. Check your shock mount bolts and make sure all the torque values are correct.

Mid perch, love it, would never go back to lower setting.
Never had an issue, in fact, it stopped the front from bouncing out around corners and really help with nose dive when braking.
I have the Deavers +2 so I still have a rake, I like that look myself.
