you rebushinged it & it was good then you right away lowered it & it clunked OR you rebushinged it/lowered the ride height at the same time & now it clunks? As said I would loosen everything (as needed) & lube the needed areas then retighten.

Once you decide where you want your ride height loosen the upper & lower control arm bushings preferably on a drive on lift,jounce the front end up n down & retorque the bushings at that static ride height & reevaluate it.Also retorque the K-frame bolts. i like this too. it has to be realigned anyway. stumpy, all 3 are newish but i did check them any way

If it happens when you get off and on the gas I would look at the motor mounts and trans mount. Just because it happened after you redid the front end doesn't necessarily mean it's front suspension related. Boy, aint THIS the truth... Many times in the past I have had something conk out moments after doing something else unrelated. I rotated the tires, now I have bad breath. I should have left the tires where they were.

Did you grease the Torsion bar sockets, they can clunk if they are dry. This right here is your noise. Factory packed them with grease. They need that to be quiet.

i also replace the original torsion bars with the next heavier (GTX) ones. Did you grease the hex ends of the T-bars?
