Default Chripping sound ?

Today as I was driving the jeep around it developed a chirping/squeaking noise. It sounds like its coming from around the front axle on the drivers side. I just put a lift kit on it last weekend and I don't know if it's sounds from the new springs working in or what. Anyone know what could be going on ? Thanks

Upload a vid with the sound, this would help out a bit more. Your chirp could be a creak to me kinda thing.

Drive shaft angle could be an issue on the U-joints.

Yeah thats kinda what im thinking. I just took it around the block again and i noticed the sound was actually coming from the transfer case area, so hopefully when i get to dropping it, the sound will stop. thanks for the help !
