Proper procedure is to retorque everything after road testing... lol but I never do unless there is a noise.
Could be suspension, could also be worn front driveshaft splines;although that usually has a ring/ping noise to it as well.

Driveline clunk between forward/reverse could be the TC chain.

I hope it's the suspension. I have always had a pinging noise(s) on acceleration. Another member posted the same sound prior to purchasing and said it was cured by a shop by "lubing" the rear driveshaft.

Hope it's not that.

Guibo's appeared okay when last under there. Not sure how I could verify the sub frame bushings visually.

I was also thinking it could be motor mounts? The clunk is similar to that which exhibits itself when an E46 rear differential mount bushing completely goes. Except that I "feel" it coming from the front. I've got the truck in the garage and will be under it this weekend. I'll have a poke around with the pry bar and see what I can find.

Is the transmission/Transfer case mount in good shape?

Nothing to fancy, just had a chance to wash it and try and get it shiny.

I'm really liking the spacers I added earlier this week, looks good.... TO ME.
