Default What to look for?

I am going to check out underneath the truck today. I am hearing a metal clanking sound when I go over bumps. Souns like something is hitting together. Is there anything in particular that I should look for? The truck has a 6inch RCD lift. I am kind of frustrated with it, due to the fact that it has been making noises for awhile now. First it was the sterring, then there were some noisy bushings, now this. I have to tackle the fact that I can't get it aligned properly after this. But I believe that may be the tires being out of round. I have heard some discuassion about that concerning Dunlop Mud Rovers. Any help would be appreciated.

Check the exhaust pipes. Could be hitting underneath somewheres.
