Default 98 zj disturbing rear clanking noise

Long story short i lent my jeep to my 18yr old sis n law for her job interview...i got it back alll kinds of screwed up (my fault for letting her use it lesson learned).

As for the noise...i only hear during quick braking...my jeep lifts up about an inch in the rear then drops back down followed by a metal clanking noise. Im a mechanic so im sure ill find the issue but i was wondering if anyone has experienced this b4?

im assuming its
1: Loose traction bars
2: Loose Control arms
3: something broke from the frame and i need to weld it asap
4: all of the above

Now not only do i have that issue..but now my front diff is binding and i can hear it while coasting and feels like im riding 1st gear but sounds like my tires are choppy or im riding on my 32s.

and a random picture of me being dumb

for those that care, Both traction bars broke off the frame, not the bar its self but the mount that holds the bar...followed by a brake line leak on the passenger side and my front diff is just about shot.

feeling defeated but ill have it fixed tommorow.
