Unhappy What is this noise!? Help... Video

Hey guys, the last two weeks my jeep has been making some noises that have me stumped, but may be something simple IDK. While I turn the wheel left and right specially while the jeep is in movement (Even when very slow) there is this kinda crackling and popping sounds. Also when I hit a bump. Last week I changed the drivers side U-joint but that didn't change a thing. I took some video a tried to capture the sound as I turned the wheel to both sides. Maybe you guys could help me out with this. BTW it is a 93 w/ 3inch RC lift, w an extra 1" spacer in the front for leveling purposes... everything else is stock.. Listen to the vid...

Picture is not good because I was focusing on capturing sound.




And heres the Jeep, sorry thats the only pic I have in my computer (dirty).
