Issue with V4 nozzle and bed

After clogging my v3b nozzle, I decided that I would install the V4. I did the install no issues. I have been printing with no issues with the v3b, but with the V4 I get what appears to be a quick drop off on the bed height. I have attached an image to show what I am talking about. I am looking for advice on what to look at besides the bed level. It does not appear to me to be the issue because this does not get smaller to a single strand. It looks like it changes thickness almost. Please any thoughts would be appreciated.

That's a new one! It's some kind of strange mechanical issue, because it happens at exactly the same Y coordinate. Seems a bit too abrupt and extreme to be solely a bed leveling issue. Double check the extruder and belts to make sure there is no play in any elements. Maybe the gear? Although I don't see how that might happen. If you do figure it out, please let us know what it was.

Mystery solved. I had a different bed clamp on and when I changed to the V4 nozzle, it hit the X axis at the back of the bed and made the table push down. I saw it when I was redoing the bed leveling. I changed the clamp back to the binder clip and all is well now. Thanks for the input though.
