Default Terrible rattling sound

Didnt know where to fire this question so Im throwin it up here. I have a 95 xj with 5" lift, etc. Anyhow, was going fishing today, everything was fine, but when I started to drive back I noticed a sound. Whenever I downshift to slowdown (downshift and dont give gas) it makes a rattling sound as if something is wrapped around the driveshaft hitting something. So at higher rpms the rattle is quicker. When I rev or drive to the same rpm and higher there is no rattle, literally just when I downshift. I cant pinpoint what it is, do you guys have any clues? thanks, zack

How are your motor mounts and trans mounts on it?And if your exhaust close to touching anything it shouldn't?
