How about ball joints? They take a lot of abuse, especially on lifted trucks. Sway bar links? Track bar bushings? There are so many places that can make noise on the front end. I don't know what size end links there are, but long enough to get the ends fairly horizontal should be ok. The sway bar is just connected to both sides of the axle - being raised would just bring the angle down creating force angles more towards the frame as opposed to directed against the opposite side of the axle.
Clunky front end noise

My front swaybar bushings were worn and causing similar clunking as you've described. It's a good place to start. My endlinks looked bad, but were still tight so I kept them in place for now. New bushings did the trick.
