Iv got something similar going on. Mine has nothing to do with bumps, strictly on acceleration after being parked. Or reverse then forward. Its not CAs. This started about a months ago and a completely new lift has gona in and no change. Local shop had no quick ideas except that there might be a worn out part in the Open dif in the rear. Ill be going in tomorrow to see further into it I dont always drive where others cant. but when I do, its in my Jeep. Stay muddy my friends
Rear ends don't clunk. Off chance someone has a bad wheel bearing, but even then it rarely clunks.

Update from my end of the world. I checked Everything i possibly could. In the end we pulled the dif cover to find beautiful gunmetal metallic colored fluid. It Was in the rear end thats for sure. My spider gears have been eating themselves. Binding on low speed micro turns. Which is why parallel parking akways made it happen.
The shop agreed with you that rear ends dont typically clunk. One had seen this in older chevs. But this is a first in a jk they've seen. Glad we figured it out. But my wallet is gonna be 4.88 elocker and a truetrac lighter now :p
