Had a similar clunking sound, after taking off the skid plates, checking all the heat shields etc, got out the GoPro and set it up to record the front-end area.
What I found was the LCA bushings had up to 1/2" play in them upon acceleration!
Ford doesn't sell replace bushings, they want you to...
Finally got around to install the Mid Travel Kit that was sitting in the garage for 6 months, come to find out the axles (+3) that came with it (stock replacement) won't work, so to have my truck ready to prerun/chase the 400 looks like I will delete the four wheel drive.
looks like the best...

Having the same issue as you described..... sounds like an easy fix, but first do you mount the wider ring with the thin or thick side out (from the groove)?
I ask because I cant find any mention of this on either RPG's or RCV's websites.
I would suggest that whether you build or buy a rack make sure that it mounts directly to the frame or utilize the stock bed mounts.
I've seen rack similar to yours cracking the bed sides in less then a day of offroading.
You may not intend to do much offroad, but as you stated with the...
Typical trimming of the fender/Flares, flatten the pinch welds, etc.
The wrap with removal of the old wrap was $2400
You can see by the attached pics what needs to be trimmed. Note the tire marks in the
