I think you should recheck very closely. I jacked with mine for weeks thinking it was that very thing. I would bump the coils with my hand and they would make the sound I thought I was hearing.
Make sure your sway bar isn't hitting the crossover and make sure your links aren't hitting the coils.
Got a lot of space between coils and end links and sway bar itself is on drop brackets so it's well out of the way

Except it moves. When you hit bumps and turn ins and stuff. At some point in the travel your bar will swing past the crossmember. It should sit close to it at ride height if you have your links on proper. You have drop brackets on your front sway bar? Never seen that on a jk. That circle to the left has had almost an inch sawed off it. My sway bar hit from the factory with no lift on my '13 and '14. When I installed longer links it rubbed really bad.

With the drop brackets in the attached pics it allows my sway bar to sit very level while being no where near the frame.
Also ample space between the links and coils.
The clanking is happening over regular little road bumps at fast or slow speeds so flex and drastic movement is not a variable in these cases.

What's up with that ? I though the swaybar brackets went in the rear ?
The bolt is not grazing the TB bracket is it ?
Seen that recently and mine is close.

This exactly. The sway bar moves side to side in the rubber bushings. I cut the same part and problem solved. After a month, the noise came back. Sway bar shifted more. I cut more off and problem solved. I've installed a couple MC lifts and I can't see how it's possible to not cut the crossmember tube. It's going to rub.
