Default Clicking noise from freshly regeared axle

Got my jeep regeared to 4.88's and just got it back yesterday. I'm getting a clicking noise from what seems like my differential now. Jacked the rear end up and spun the tires and it clearly sounds like its coming from in the pumpkin. What could this be? I know the seals were changed but I'm guessin a bearing but I'm not sure if they were changed.

So someone geared your axles and you dont know if they changed bearings?
If you think its coming from the diff, I would bring it back. Especially before anything happens to it.
Do you have drums? Just make sure its not something in the wheel end, otherwise let whoever did it check and see why its making noise.

Ah, good. yeah have him look and listen. Could be so many things its not worth taking a chance, especially if you think you head it in the diff.
