My jeep makes all kinds of noises, it creaks it bangs, my j joints make noise, even though they are tight and well greased. it just the nature of the beast. My biggest issue has always been trac bar issues, whether its the J joint loosening, or the axle end bolt needs tightening or the frame bracket needs tightening i dunno but i fix one trac bar noise and another forms. i need to take it all out and put lock tight on it.

sorry no pics tonight, i'm tired but the jeep drives great and the noise is starting to get quieter. the jeep rides nice and is very stable, better than before. keep in mind i do not run sway bars. i took it through the woods HARD and it seem really smooth. can't wait for tomorrow to see how it works
