Okay I got the lift put on, but I now here a ticking noise when going between 30-50mph. I know the best fix for that is to go faster or turn the radio up more. But I would rather it go away. However it does seem to stop when I turn left. It almost sounds like something like the fan hitting the gaurd. But I have looked and it does not seem that loose. Well any help on this will be great. This is a 4" lift on an 88yj.

Could be a U joint that is now wearing in a different spot since I am sure that there is a different angle on the driveshaft now. High speed tick or slow?

Well everyone view is diff but I would say it is a slow to medium tick. If it is that way would it stop while I am turning left?

It probably wouldn't stop. Checked to make sure all your wheels are tight? Whenever my spacers come loose, I get a tick from the wheel.....could be a place to check.

You might check the differential vent line up front or any other lines that could have been stretched into contact with something when you lifted it.

I have leafs and when we first finished I drove around the block and it did not make the nosie but on the way home from SLC to Tooele I noticed it when I got close to home. Also if there is anyone that lives in Tooele I can meet you if someone can listen to it and see what they think.

Okay found the problem and it was a real cheap fix. I guess my exhaust had shifted a little once we dropped the transfer case so it was rubbing on my front drive shaft. Well went to home depo and got a few things ($6.00) and moved it over and noise gone. Will have to work on a more permanent fix later. It is true you need a second pair of eyes to see it, thanks tooelecherokee for pointing out the problem after 5 min there.
