Clunky lose something in front

My 03 truck and my friends 05 have something that sounds lose from frontend when you go over a jarring bump. Both trucks are lifted! I have checked everything but all seems tight. Not sure what ratties has anybody else have same noises from frontend. Any replys would be helpful as this noise has got to go!

Check the above for sure. Also check the track bar end links. I had one go bad in about 9 months. It would only clunk going over bumps. You can't tell it is worn or has play if you are just pulling and pushing on the steering linkage or track bar, but once you pull it out, it will be obvious. It only takes a minute to remove and check.

This might sound silly but check the coolant level in the overflow bottle. Mine got a little low and when it sloshes around it makes a clunking sound.
