Welcome to just answer.com. I'm here to help you and your 100% satisfaction is my goal. There are a number of things that can cause this if the clunk is not coming from the engine it's very likely that you have a front brake caliper that is dragging and causing one of the brakes to overheat. Jack up the front of the vehicle after driving it for awhile and tell me if one of the from wheels is difficult to turn. Let me know what you find and we will test further from their thank you

That was actually a great evaluation but in the morning when I could see my wheel I found out the the shop that did my lift forgot to tighten my lug nuts to the right torque and they where all about to fall out except for one. Thanks for the help!

If those lug nuts were loose make sure you remove the wheels and RE inspect the studs because when a wheel is loose like this it will often damaged or where the studs allowing them to brake prematurely while driving down the road
