Default loud popping noise

some background info. . .i lost my swaybar bushings while offroading, actually im not real sure what happened, but they were gone one afternoon, and i reconnected the sway bar with no bushings. while driving it like this, bushing-less, id get a horrible popping noise from what i assume to be the sway bar flexing while driving. So i go to advance and snag some new MOOG bushings, but i only had enough fopr one side. so i only have the bushing under the swaybar disco and not on top. im still getting this pop, should i just go buy another set of bushings and have the top and bottom bushing on? could it be anythingelse popping...also getting a new trac bar and u joints since i need them...could these be making the popping noise as well???
3" rc lift on a 2000 with 31's. any info appreciated

seems like you already know what the problem is. i would first fix what you know is an issue and then readdress the question if the problem persist.

remove the sway bar to see if thats the noise. Ive driven all over the country without swap bars for the last year without problems, just have to be careful around turn and dont swerve for animals (i'm at 3.5-4"). This will tell you if its the sway bar ends or something else.
