Default front end rattle

I recently had rancho quick lifts installed on my 06 ram 1500 slt. Ever since they have been on I have a rattle from my front end. It sounds like a loose grease cap. I can not find where it is coming from. You don't have to be going fast or be hitting large bumps to cause the rattle. The rattle is there when turning, going straight, braking, not braking. Can someone give me some advise as to where to look?

Thank You

I had a buddy with a set of Rancho Quick Lifts on his '06 right when they first came out had the same problem. He asked me to take a look after taking it back to the Midas shop that installed them for him about 3 times with no success.
I could not see anything wrong, but we decided to remove and re-install them to see if it would help any. The noise completely went away. We concluded that they must not have been seated just right on the first install...
