Mysterious Clunking?
I did some searching on this and came up with nothing. I get this clunking noise in my front end, towards the passenger's side I think, when I am off-roading, under throttle, and the front is taking bumps (just to specify, not just little bumps but like crossing ruts or other "bumps" that rock the whole vehicle). It happens in 4 and 2 wheel drive. Totally silent in 2 and 4 wheel on the road. If it matters, I have a 4.5 inch lift.

Trackbar? Just another possibility
Relocated (hombrew)- the hole could be over sized and the bolt could be shifting.
Reloacted bracket-check bushings
Adjustable-most likely isn't ur cause.
It really could be anything from that description. Check all bushings first.
Could be tierod slack
LCA bushings
UCA bushings
Drag link slipping
Pitman arm- if not dropped
There are many possibilities.
