Default Clunk

I have an 03 f150 XLT 4x4 and an at wits end here

Everytime I come to a complete stop and gas it my truck clunks an feels like the body shifts backwards

It's hard to explain but it happens without fail Everytime I give it more than a touch of the gas pedal I've replaced my upper ad lower ball joints shocks links and bushings both front hub assemblies and had my truck up in the air about 5 hours on Friday night checking all the linkage everything seems tight and nothing jumps out at me

If anyone has had this problem or any insight to it I would greatly appreciate it

I believe it to be more of an annoyance than anything going to cause excessive wear and tear but I may be wrong just trying to fix my girl right so any help is appreciated

Thanks
Nick

You may need to lube the slip yoke at the transmission/transfercase! I use teflon grease.
