It would be tough to say just by that description. Do you have any lift? what year is it? And a few things you could check is the sway bar make sure it's tight and you can check the shock bushings.

Also check your drive line my makes a terrible grinding noise cause my slip yokes pulled out so far could be your problem too cause I thought it was the ujoints and the brakes

I have a 1991 5 speed that does it also, loud popping sound when I take off and turn up a hill, like when it is under a load. I have had allot of work done. I am following your thread and am very interested in what you find out. I did find that my u-bolts to both leaf springs were lose, I tightened them up but still I have that popping sound. wonder if it could be the rims on the lug nuts coming lose....mmmm I will have to check them. good luck, I hope someone answers you with a solution.
