do you have quick disconnects for the sway bar if so it could be them but check the bushing for the sway bar if its cracked than it needs to be replaced if you have quick disco's unhook the sway and see if it still makes the same noise you shouldnt have had to drop it with a three inch i have 6.5 with stock pitman arm

I've the same problem, only pops when turning left. I'll post my findings when I fix it, maybe yours will be the same thing.

x3 on the trackbar. Check and make sure that the bolt on the axle sid mount is torqued.

x3 on the drag link and the tie rod. Make sure all of your TRE's are torqued correctlly

Definitely need to check that your lower and upper track bar bolts are TIGHT. I had the same issue and came to find out, my lower bolt loosened up somehow.
