Replaced Shocks, now clunk...

I recently replaced all the shocks with Rancho RSX shocks and now when I go
over large seams in the road, I get a clunk from the rear end. Almost like
I had something loose in the bed that would bounce.

Do the Rancho shocks need a sleeve to go inside the bushing to keep it from
bouncing on the bolt? I checked most of the bolts in the suspension and
they are all tight. I did have to tighten up one of the stabilizer bar
bolts that hung on the rubber drop piece on the driver's side.

I also want to go back and replace all the shock bolts and want to know what
type of hardware to use. I think it's Grade 8.

Thanks!
