Default I have this noise .....when taking off

Hi guys! Looking for some direction here if possible.

95 GC, 4x4, 6 cy, Auto. 6 inch lift. 33 tires

I'm am pretty handy on car/trucks but this one has me a little confused since it only happens when I start to drive.

Just started a couple weeks ago. Sounds like its cominig from the front or maybe under the exterior around the front seat somewhere.

Sound is sort of a metalic sound only when taking off, also squeaks alot, when I build you speed it goes away. . Only happens for about 30 -60 seconds.

I have greased all the zert checked my fluids. Belts are tight and A/C clutch unit is turning. No leaks other than the Rear Main. I will get to the later .

I did jack up the back and put stands under it and ran it thru the gears but no sounds there.

The steering is fine, no jerks, or wanders when taking my hand off the steering wheel

Anyone experience anything like this that maybe able to point me in a solid direction?

I hate the idea of driving it until it breaks just to find what the hell it is.

Thanks

If I have no play at all in any of the u-joints could they still be bad?

If they are dry (no grease) they'll make noise until they break.
