Rattle in front end after Bilstein adjustable strut install. Please help!

I recently had a shop install the Bilstein ride height adjustable front struts on my 2013 FX4 Supercrew. They set the struts at the top setting (2.25 inch lift or level). Now when I go over small bumps in the road I get a rattle from the suspension on the front driver side. Also, if I drop the tire off at a decent speed into a pothole it sounds like the suspension completely tops out. Does anyone have any experience with this? Would lowering the setting help? Thanks in advance!

Sounds like something didn't get tightened completely/torqued correctly such as the bolts on the top of the strut.
