Welcome !
Is it a 4WD ? Lots of things up front to make the noise you describe. Loose track bar on the frame end was where mine made noise. How many miles on it ?

I just replaced the bushings on my front sway bar, now the only thumping I hear is from the back.

Get under there and start shaking stuff. Bad bushings are obvious and easy to replace.
