Clunk noise over bumps

Try shock extensions or longer Cognito shocks. Will make a big improvement in ride quality, if it doesn't fix the clunk.

Thanks for the advice, but I'd like to know first if lifting the front of the truck by a couple of inches via the torsion bars is enough of a change that you run out of shock travel on something as small as a speed bump.

Not sure if it's what is causing the clunk. Might take it to dealer and let them take a look.

Would those not lift the truck to some degree?

No

I agree that it's the shocks. Most shocks only have about 2 inches of "play" in them. I've had this happen on a Grand Cherokee I used to own.

Check your skid plate - make sure it's tight and there aren't any rocks wedged in it. Make sure all of your grease points are full. If it still makes noise have the dealer check all of the front suspension components.
