clanking noises? - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

so i just finished installing an RE 3.5 superflex on my 92 XJ. After i finished bleeding and making minor alignment adjustments i took it for a quick lap around the block to make sure everything was running well and to see how much the alignment was off. One thing i noticed was that whenever i was on the gas there was a clanking, jingling noise that sounded like i was dragging some kind of metal from what i could best hear was from the rearend. The only thing that came to mind was this: the new rear brakeline was differently shaped and shorter than the old one, mabey the bolt was too long and hitting the axle. but the bolt seemed to be fine. another thought was that it was a driveline issue due to the install.
anyone have this problem or have any suggestions?
