Default Popping/creaking noise in rear

Ok...I have 4.5" RC lift with full leafs. When I am braking and right when I start to give it gas, I get this creaking, multiple popping sound. Everything looks tight. I had a loose sway bar link back there, but nothing changed when I tighted it up.

Any suggestions?

Check for a broken shock or cracked leaf spring. I would also look at the bushings in the leaf spring...Tj
