It feels like a tire is about to fall off (It isn't). And the clunking is more noticeable at a lower speed. It drives fine in 2 wheel drive. When i put it in Auto &/or 4 wheel drive, it has a terrible shake (feels like the drivers back tire is going to wobble off). It feels like the shake is causing my Tahoe to kick out on me. Trying to troubleshoot the problem because my 4 wheel drive mechanic isn't in until Monday.
Rear ujoint may be bad causing vibration when under load from transferring. Also could just be loose or bad carrier bearing.

usually the noise in the front end is the u-joints or cv joints out towards the tires.

sounds like either a sway bar end link or shock, more towards the end link tho

Driveline and wheel bearing noises can be very decieving. - especially on 4X4 vehicles. These noises can travel through the vehicle and sound like they are coming from one place when they are caused by something else. I have 2 recomendations:
1. Take it to a professional that deals with 4X4 drive trains and have him lend you an ear.
2. get the thing on a lift and listen to the components with a stethescope. It could be a wheel bearing, a differential, a transfer case, or even the transmission making a noise like you have described.
