I just got my RHO yesterday and when I went over a fairly smooth, but larger speedbump at a low speed the front shocks made a clunk noise like they were blown 10 year old shocks.

My 23’ Raptor at same speed was smooth as butter. I love my RHO but is this normal? Suspension was in Baja mode. Is there a break in for the suspension not to make noise?

Doesn't sound right . . . no codes? I know some truck have leaking shocks - but I think they throw a code.
 
I also get a clunk in front end when hitting sharper bumps like a speed bump. Shocks are definitely not blown as they work great otherwise. I'm curios to see if other people have the same noise. I looked over the front end and everything seems normal, nothing loose.

No codes. In street it is a little rough but floaty. In baja the entire suspension floats over bumps like an older Lincoln Town car. Have’t tried tow mode yet

Try Sport. It stops the floaty feel.
 
Was it a new used vehicle? I ask because you said you got it yesterday and it was in Baja mode. I don't think that is available to select until after break in at 500 miles. I'm at only 250 miles and not an option for me yet on the mode select screen.

It was new, 18 miles on it and still had the plastic on it when I showed up. Only made the noise from the front suspension. I didn’t even go to the drive mode screen until after 60 miles. Going to dealer later today to see if they can give it a once over
 
I have a dealer appointment beginning of May. Mainly happened in Street and a little in Baja. Tow and Sport were stiff. Also my truck has a little more rake than I have seen with any TRX’s. IDK.. maybe it needs to settle in but the way the shocks feel, I would not go high speed in the desert or even THINK about jumping like the commercials. If I had to rate my RHO:
-looks 10
-power 10
-interior 10
-suspension 5
-features 10
-exhaust note 3
 
I feel like mine too are a little wobbly. When I go in for the first oil change I am gonna have them drive it to compare.
