I've had the Calmini 3 inch lift for almost a year now. I've adjusted my ride height a few times due to alignment problems. My front end is still lower than I'd like it to be but every alignment shop I've ever been to says the only way then can get it aligned is to lower the front end some. In all the pictures I see of other lifted X's, it seems they are all at the height I would like to be at. What is going wrong on my end?

Secondly, I've noticed that there is a pan-like banging sound that comes out of the front end when I go down washboard dirt roads. It doesn't seem like my shocks are bad but I guess it's possible. Should I be looking for something else?

Thanks.
