Well, at least I am intimately acquainted with my suspension setup.
Similar problem when I was doing this-I have BC BR's and 12k/11k swifts. Some of it can be the surface, also if you let your car down off the lift and don't move it or roll it out, you can expect to lose a good 1/2" once you have rolled out the binding.

Also everytime I have removed the top 3 nuts and put them back on, clunk. I drive it for a day or 2 or 3, retighten the bolts and find I usually have sometimes almost a full turn of play in them.
