Did you put everything to proper torque specs? Especially the track bar. How much was the lift and my what means (e.g, spacer, suspension lift)? The assumption is that you have the right length of track bar for the lift. They change if > 3" of lift, which also modifies other components like pitman arm. What track bar is it anyways?
Find an actual speed bump as a better test of environment.
ps. also visually inspect your sway bar...
It is a 3 inch cool spacer the trac bar is the stock length it's a own replacement made by Dana I got from napa it made this noise before I lifted it
might be a body mount if it make a thud when you hit a bump. have you visually raised and dropped the axle to see if a control arm. mtter of fact if a control arm was that worn then youd be able to make it move with the vehicle on the ground

When I kick my sway bar I always hear a noise comming from my front left body mount by the bumper. I bet that's it. How do I check that out?
I've heard that the front end components burn up fairly fast with the 3" coil spacers since thats the threshold where many stock components are being pushed to an extreme angle... I if you do end up replacing stuff I would recommend going with the stuff designed for lifted rams...
I had tons of slop in my steering... found it to be coming from a lot of places...I still have some slop in the track bar so I got a replacement which hopefully removes that last bit of road wander I have... mines a body lift so I got it a bit easier than you as far as possible causes.
yes the busing can be worn out, but id try tightening it down first. there is just 1 big bolt at each body mount, and they are known to come loose over time
