Default rear suspension noise

I just recently replaced the factory shocks with the bilstein slp hd's and am still getting a loud clunking noise over bumps while driving, it feels alot better but i thought that would get rid of the clunk. i lubed the bmr torque arm and lubed the rear sway bar while it was in the air. Its got 1.5 lowering springs (not sure of the brand) with a moser 12 bolt. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Where's the clunk coming from? Front or rear?

Have any polyurethane bushings or rod ends in your suspension?

Check the troque arm bolts on the Moser 12 bolt because they are notorious for backing out due to the four bolt mounting design. If it is not the torque arm bolts I would go through all the rear suspension and check all the mounting bolts and the condition of all the bushings.
