Yea it's done it ever since I lifted it I'm thinkin it's the track bar because I had to drill 3/4" over from the old bolt hole to recenter the body over the axle

Look to see if your tie rod is hitting your sway bar at the axle on the pass side. It will have marks on it if it's hitting.

Check the bolts holding your track bar on. Mine popped, and a quick inspection confirmed that the bolt on the driver's side was a little loose. After tightening, the popping went away. If it's tight, spray some WD-40 on it. That helped a second time when it started popping after a muddy wheeling trip.

No marks but I did notice the bolt that goes thru the top of the sway bar link I'd hitting the plate that the track bar bolts up to
