Take this how you want to! I had the same thing. I could not find it to save my life! until the front diff locked up( couple months later) turns out it was a chipped tooth on my ring gear! Easy check. Just change your diff fluid and look at the magnetic plug! My guess is you will have a piece of tooth stuck to it! let us know if this is the problem or not

I don't think that is it. But u never know. But I am planning on changing the fluid out in it Monday anyway so I will be sure to let u guys know.

I noticed on my way home this morning. That it only really does it when I'm going slow and over bumps. I put it in 4lo and hi when I got home and it didn't do it. But I don't go over any bumps

Coil pop is a popping sound that comes from a coil spring cycling. perfectly normal. Just a thought.

I'm trying to track down my own popping sound right now. Took the Jeep out wheeling for first time yesterday since the new RK lift (had bb in before) and I would get a loud pop or snapping sound from front driver side once in a while. Only seemed to to do it when I had a decent amount of flex going on. Never heard the sound before until yesterday and I disconnected. Looked all over for anything that looked out of place and found nothing. Thinking it may be the coil popping, but maybe pre-load in the trackbar or lower control arms since all of that was replaced?...

Coils - have you check to make sure your coils are seated properly top and bottom? if they aren't , they'll pop.

look at the sway bar links, make sure they are on the corect side of the axle mount to sway bar if they aren't they will bind. last, I trimmed a couple of the bolts that I noticed after lifting where I was concerned they might catch the solid breake lines on articulation. more ideas to check out

Do you have a receiver hitch. If so take it out and see if it does it.
