I am having the same issue with my truck. Took to dealership and they could not replicate.

My '19 Limited has done this since new. I took to dealership and they tightened the sway bar, but that did not fix it.

Any updates on a fix for this clunking?

I would check the torque or the mount bolts they put in. You can rent a torque wrench for free or buy a cheap one from HF. If they are at least at 80ftlbs try going to 85. If that doesn't fix the clunk, it must be something else loose.
Noticed something like this tonight on the highway in my 21. First I thought I hit a small bird (kinda sounded/felt like that), but then it did it two more times in about 5 minutes, before I got home. Guess I'll check those body mounts in the morning.
My 2020 ram 2500 doing the same thing. Took it to the dealer. Charged my $267.00 to diagnose it. Said upper balljoins$1043, shocks $780, and steering shock $450 needs to be replaced. (None of it covered by warranty) I changed balloons myself. Needless to say, the ones I pulled were fine and didn’t help at all. They know it’s a common problem, why not fix it on recall or say what the problem is. Not happy at all.

My truck (2020 ram power wagon 2500) is doing the same pop sound when suspension fully drops and retracts and it spent sometime at dealer and they said they couldn't replicate it. it sounds like it's coming from behind the dash/glove compartment. I strapped a go pro underneath to hopefully see something but all I got was the sound of the"pop" sound. It wouldn't be the shock getting over extended that would make this sound would it? I'm going to check all body mounts and see if any are loose I have attached a video so u can hear pop sound I'm describing.. any feedback would be greatly appreciated
My 21 Powerwagon had a similar noise that sounded and felt like described. It only happened at lower speeds (less than 20 mph) after a pot hole, speed bump, significant body roll, hard braking, etc. It started almost immediately after purchasing the vehicle but I didn't bother me enough to investigate. Initially it sounded more like hitting the bump stop lightly. After 3 years and 90k miles, it finally got serious, started to sound more like a metallic noise. Needless to say, I had 2 "body hold down cushions" completely shot and the rest are on borrowed time. I took it in to the dealer about a month ago thinking the front end was going to be rebuilt but that was not the case. $850 to replace the two cratered mounts and decided I would replace the other 6 myself. If you buy the parts from a dealer, you can expect to pay $70-$100 per mount (does not include bolt) and they are all different (2-front, 2-a-pillar, 2-b-pillar, 2-rear). I have found them online as well but with shipping it probably wont be much cheaper. Hope this helps
