Front-end "Clunk"
The Clunk is driving me nuts. 
Started after the spindle drop. Happens when stopped and start rolling. Happens sometimes at 2-3 mph. Feels like it is coming from the front right but not sure.
Have read in another post that a worn torsion bar cross-member bushing (wetfti?) will cause the clunk?
Inner tie-rod?
Anything else. It was really noticable earlier today but it seems to do it ittermitantly. What else should I look for?

If you can feel it in the floorboard I would check the torsion bar bushings.
I have a bad one on mine and it was driving me nuts until I made a temporary fix until I can replace it. It easy to check just get under there and push up on the the torsion bar crossmember. If the bushing is bad it will likely move very noticably. Mine move a good 1/8 of an inch.

This sounds like the clunk I've had in mine for a long time. I never have been able to find it. It has improved, doesn't clunk as often nor as hard after the drop kit install.
There was a TSB that I read, aside from the mentioned possible causes, of the tranny crossmember shifting and adding some nylon washers between the member mounting bolts and the frame.

Possibly torsion bar bushings, blown shock, tie-rod, ball joint, etc. I'd also check the front diff mounting points, and make sure that your exhaust isn't contacting the frame anywhere. Maybe someone can jounce the truck for you while you look around...
