Dodge Front Ends
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...

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

+1 on that.
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.
