Default Squeaking Noise on Take Off

Is this indicative of a bad transmission mount? Every time that I take off from a stop, around 1-10 mph, I have a squeaking noise. It's like something under the car is shaking when I take off and then it goes away at 10+mph...


I can tell you what it is NOT ---


It's not my brakes


It's not my u joints in the steering


It's not my belts, as those make a squealing noise and not the squeak I am hearing.


This noise came ever since I installed my lift in the rear (3"). I get a little bit of a shimmy/shake when starting on take off. I have my SYE waiting to be installed. Should I throw that in there and then go from there? Or could this be a bad transmission mount?

Do you have any poly bushings installed? like in the leaf springs or control arms? I know they tend to squeak more.

It's the rear drive shaft angle causing the front joint to bind.
