Broke something in my front right suspension but can't figure out what

Today I was being stupid and went too fast down this neat forest road I found. I was going downhill and hit a waterbar hard before I could slow down. The bumper hit a big rock in the hill coming out and the cross piece got all bent up but I don't care because the bumper is already destroyed anyways (this is the 2000 Limited I am fixing up) and I'll get a new bumper. But the suspension took a hit.

If I am on a smooth surface everything seems fine and the alignment isn't affected but if I hit a pothole or rough patch it makes this godawful clunk like something is loose, almost like a bracket is broken and held on by the force of the suspension when driving on a flat surface but when the suspension suddenly goes down in a pothole, it becomes loose. I have pulled off the bash plates which also got hit. I can't see anything wrong with it. Everything seems sturdy when I push on it. I'm not sure how I'm going to find the problem when I can only experience it while driving over a pothole.

You can feel this clunk on your foot on the gas pedal, that's how big it is. I am planning to take this thing across BC in 2 weeks...
