Default clunk under the jeep

About two month or so ago the jeep started to develop some clunk noise in the undercarriage, I was thinking my suspension needed a retorq and did not bother to much as I was installing my lift kit soon.
The lift kit is now in, it did eliminate some cluck specially in the front but still have some in the back. This weekend I will have access to a pit and plan to do the second round of retorquing for the lift and was wondering if I should extend my retorquing to more than the suspension ?

Usually I Get clunk when I stop, start or turn but only happen one time out of 10. The jeep have around 100 000 KM and installed a Aev 2.5 3 weeks ago.

Any experience of how you seek or fixed previous clunk is welcome

I had a clunk after my lift. Turned out to be a rear control arm bolt on the axle side that was very hard to get at and tighten.

People frequently overlook shock absorber bushings when looking for clunks. Upper rears particularly. Being new doesn't always matter.
