    Or the cab mount bushings? Especially the radiator support bushings.

    I plan to check them today. I think that might be the issue…

    I had to double nut my UCA bolt- it kept loosening up- only on the drivers side.

    Use a big pry bar at every bushing joint- its most likely a bad bushing and just pushing/pulling on the wheel doesnt have enough leverage to move it.

    Currently stock. Eventually I’ll either buy ones for the lift or just remove the lift. Need to figure that out before committing to either or.

    I tried a big pry bar on every joint and got nothing to pop or clunk…

    Haven't seen it mentioned, my 07 does the same thing but on my 07 it is very clearly bad cv axles that I will most likely just remove. Have you looked into your cv axles and boots to see the condition they are in?

    The side that’s clunking has a brand new CV as I just did the ECGS bushing maybe 2 months ago… it could be a bad one, but I’m not fully convinced yet.

    The two front body mounts are at least 34 ft/lbs which is the only real number I could find on here… caliper bolts are torqued, lower control arm bolts are torqued, shock bolts will be torqued briefly. If this doesn’t fix it, I have no clue what else to look at…

    Update, fixed it. Not entirely sure what did it. I replaced both outer tie rods and torqued every single bolt on the drivers side. No more clunk. Wish I knew exactly which one did it, thanks to everyone for the help!
