Default Popping Sound?

For about a month or so now when I go from a dead stop and accelerate right at the point I start to move there is a popping sound just one "pop/click". Any ideas? Really freaking out and any help would be appreciated thank.

try and re-torque all your suspension bolts to spec while the jeeps on the ground.

this is usually the the cause of suspension pop. it doesnt hurt to grease everything either.

Not bad ideas. This might help, its sounds like its coming from the rear. Also this came to my attention after I had a TeraFlex lift installed, can't remember if I had this sound prior to the lift or not and also it seems to be getting worse. Thanks. Total non mechanic here and learning as I go, recently started changing my own oil and normal maintenance so how would one go about torquing the suspension and greasing? Thanks in advance!

its very easy. Buy yourself a good torque wrench from sears and a grease gun for zerk fittings.

Located your fittings on your suspension, and grease away.

here's a chart for torque specs

Does a stock JK have any grease fittings on it? I've looked and haven't located any....plus the place I get the oil change done at says it has none. Is that right?

Judging from the pics on the other thread of your incorrectly installed rear links and brakeline brackets, I'd start there.
