Ok so I'm not the only one here. lol I just upgraded to a 6" lift and after adjusting my tie rod end at the pitman arm side noticed the whole bar swivels up and down a lot more due to the height of the truck. I think this is the clunk I (and maybe you) am hearing because it seems to clunk when I turn the wheel when stopped. The angle may be flipping the bar up or down one way then the other way when turning opposite. Give that a look-see.

as far as i know that is normal to rotate like that due to flex in the suspention as you turn. what seemed to silence my noise(besides the plate being welded and braced) was where the pittment bracket mounted to the frame. now this may be a different mount as i did a 10" lift on my truck. but that was what i tightened and SO FAR no more noise/clunk

I'm so sorry the bracket I was talking about was the one on the frame for the panhard bar I made a huge mistake that's what I get for typing with fat fingers. The pittment arm should rotate like if your twisting it not pulling and pushing. Again sorry for the confusion
