Default Driving noise

Frustrated. 2015 JK lifted with 37s. Clicky sounds coming from what seems to be more prominent on drivers side. It happens when accelerating and only when on the gas.
I thought front drive shaft, replaced it and it's still making the noise. The rear seems to look ok.
Anyone have an idea???

I'm having the same issue. How did you fix this? I was told that I needed a new front propeller drive shaft.

Pull the front driveshaft and drive around- if the noise is gone then it's your driveshaft. If the noise is still present then it's something else.

As suggested, pull the front driveshaft. If it's still making noise, put the front back in and pull the rear and try driving in 4 Hi. If there's still noise, it's probably a u-joint on it's way out. Bad driveshaft cv's click, while toast u-joints clunk.
