Low speed clunk and squeak?

So I have done some searching, and looking through other peoples threads etc. I have noticed a low speed clunk in the Black Pearl. Usually wheel turned going over the curb and up the driveway. I noticed it some more today making my way through some really easy firebreak/trails, and have a other times over smaller bumps. I am really lost with this one.

I put the SS 1.2 on there myself in February I think? Put it on a lift 2 or 3 weeks ago. Made sure nothing came loose since I initially installed it. Does anyone have any ideas here. I am really just drawing a blank.

Where in the truck is this coming from? Front, rear, under the truck etc. I would start by checking the play in your balljoints and tie rods, also a good idea to have it aligned after a lift.

There are lots of YouTube videos on how to check front suspension components.
 
So, I found it I think. Changed my oil today, and low and behold the sway bar end links, where it connects to the lower control arm. Well one nut was completely missing, and the other was spinning freely. So I got another nut, and I haven't heard anything yet...so we will see.

Edit: So after a test drive, it helps a little, but when I am making hard left hand turns, I still get a clunk? Is it possible its the LBJ about to give out?

Swaybar bushings can get pounded out and cause a similar clunk to the end links. The end links need to be tight to prevent noise. Like I said there are lots of guides for Checking your lower ball joints, look it up and check them before just before you just throw a set at it.

Yeah, I think it needs it anyways. I have had the sway bar off.....the end links are within the last two months. I
