Default Front End Clicking?

Recently lifted my jeep, zone 3" full lift.

Currently running no front sway or endlinks, and i have 33x12.50 on the front.

Just got the jeep aligned yesterday and now i here this noise.

Its almost the noise you would hear in a car when the axle is going its like a clicking noise that speeds up with the sound of the car. Sounds as if ther eis a big screw in the tire. I dont hear it as much when im accelerating , but when im coasting at say 35-40mph you hear it and feel it coming from the drivers side front. Now, the werid thing is that as soon as i step on the brake, the clicking stops. untill i realse my foot from the brake and coast again, in which case the clicking comes back. anyone know what can cause this clicking????

i have a 1995 cherokee sport straight 6 automatic

I also have a transfer case drop kit in it and a new steering stabalizer

I had the same exact symptoms but coming from the rear axle. Only heard the clicking when driving on a paved road at normal speeds when coasting. If I step on the brake the clicking stops. If I accelerate the clicking stops. I thought my newly installed Aussie locker bit the dust. Turns out all 5 lug nuts on my left rear tire worked loose. You said it just came out of the shop getting an alignment. Check the lug nuts.
