Does it have LSD. If it does it could be the clutches releasing to allow wheel speed differentiation.

This probably wouldn't sound like a "clunk", but I remember reading a TSB about a "pop" from the rear of the cab during hard turns, for the club cab models. Something to do with the cab mounts. I saw it at:

Towards the bottom.

Don't know if this applies to Dodge but our '96 Honda CRV expereienced basicaly the same thing. It turned out to be a well know CRV problem. Changing the diff. oil corrected most of the noise.
