Idk if this is the case for you but change your front rotors. I was getting a weird loud clunk on a right turn as well but it was more noticeable say hitting a dip and turning as well. I replaced my rotors anyways because of wear and the noise went away. It's a possibility.

Mine had a clunk at sharp turns, but it wasn't consistent, it ended up being the wheel bearing assembly.
You can check by jacking your truck up and try rocking the top of the tire back and forth, make sure the truck is stable first, if it moves at all its bad.

The left lower control arm was loose , due to weight shifting from turning it was hitting the frame ... two dealerships later it was a prolonged smoke break . Go team !
