Default noises when letting off the gas

I got an issue with my 08 JK. (Auto)

It as a 2.5 in lift from previous owner. I recently added 35in tire. It is my daily driver so I dont abuse it off road.

I get a clanging metal on metal sound only whenif i letyou off thethe gas annd when its above 30mph. It started with a growling noise and progressed to the clanging.

I took it out today to see if i could figure it out.

1. Noise only present when i let off the gas.
2. Noise goes away when i coast in neutral.
3. 1 and 2 are the same when in 4h
4. Noise is present at coasting at low speeds in gear or neutral in 4L.

Any ideas?

Gonna take it in to the dealer tomorrow. I just afraid that its the transfer case or the front drive shaft. We will see tomorrow.
