Default Metallic Click After Mods

Had a lift/gears/front driveshaft installed.
When up shifting, or if I decelerate/accelerate, I get a light metallic click. Can only hear it with radio off.
Front U joints are all new.
Could it be my new Tru Trac in rear?

Check the bolts on the control arms. If the factory hardware was re-used there is a metal tab on the nut that can sometimes come in contact with the arms causing a faint metal on metal click or squeak.

Looks like this....

I currently have that problem but it's because the trac bar joint is wore out. So I agree it could be a loose bolt.
