Default Popping Noise

Hey guys - I have a 4" rough country with 35" tires. When I apply brakes I have a slight pop in the right rear - then when I gas from a red light I have the same pop. Only breaking and then gassing. I don't know if it is my springs or a control arm or what. Any suggestions?

Did you replace the control arms? If so, check to see if they torqued correctly.

I would go over all your suspension parts and make sure everything is tight. Also look and see if there is rub marks on your arms. check your track bar if it is adjustable I did't tighten the jam nut and it tore the threads out

After checking to make sure all is torqued properly, check your rt rear coil spring and see if your track bar may be rubbing it. It is a very tight clearence on many lifts.

I had this issue with my 2.5" lift. Turned out my shocks loosened up and that's what was making the sound.
