Default Need help!!!

So I did winch bumper and rock sliders on my 08 2door and after that it started making a buckling/crackling noise in the from end so I thought suspension so I got a 3.25 coil and shock lift and its still making the noise but only when I brake And accelerate at a light but I can't get it to do the noise when I get out and rock the car back and forth I've sprayed all the bushings and evrything. Any advice please

If you have an adjustable track bar, the jam nut is what locks the trackbar at the desired length and prevents the minimal play in the threads from damaging said threads.

Say that ten times fast.

I would also check the driveline and axle u-joints.

Ok because it's really annoying. And I don't want to mess anything up.

If it is under movent that causes the sound check where the sway bar link mount to the bottom mount. where the pin and connector are. mine use a spring and ball mechanism from BDS and mine made a noise similar to that but once i figure it out i wasnt to worried.
