Default Pop/Clunk In reverse

I hear a loud pop/clunk whenever I hit the brakes in reverse. After the first time breaking it doesn't do it. I think its the control arm bushing. I have the rough country adjustables. When I accelerate it has a very low/quiet pop/clunk.

Any suggestions?

I've heard so many different explanations...some say its a welded rear end, some say its the control arms, some say its movement in the tranny, etc etc etc...i say, its a jeep...
