The cv joint part is clicking, its not a u joint.
Can something like that be picked up at the parts store

Its the rear and its 6 inch lift
I greased everything up when I changed the oil last week
but that cv joint fitting was impossible to see unless I took the whole shaft off so I didnt know it was even there.

That's a lot of lift.
Did you talk to TW when you ordered the shaft and tell him the amount of lift.
If so, I am little bit surprised he didn't recommend dual-cardan shafts.
How is the front one doing?

My suggestion, drop the ds , inspect for play, change u-joints while your at it and grease that center cv joint. You may not be able to tell a u-joint is going out until you drop it. Clicking could be a needle bearing. How long has the shaft been on?
