Need to check your steering box spacer too. It's a piece of crap pot metal triangle spacer in between the steering box and frame rail. Common to break, causing your box to move around and could be causing your clunks. If it's not the sway bar bushings.

Does it do it when you are stopped, and turning it back and fourth? If so, you are in luck. Have someone do it while you investigate. If it is still hard to tell, start touching the TRE's, steering box, links, etc until you can really feel the noise
