I have a JLUR with upgraded shocks but otherwise stock. I have noticed a mechanical sound only in 4-low that can best be described as the clunk you would hear if there was some slop in the drive train. It appears to be coming from closer to the T-case than the rear axle and only happens during initial acceleration or when I take my foot off the gas.

It does not happen in 2wd or 4-hi.

I am just trying to see if anyone else has experienced this or is this an anomaly. If it is common, I would assume it is from the additional torque being applied to the drive line components.

Any comments would be appreciated.

This is completely normal. The more you use your Jeep you will grow accustomed to the wonderful sounds they produce. This is nothing to be concerned with. If you start taking your Jeep off-road more, you will experience this sound under different drive train loads as you go up and down hills, rocks, and ledges. It's just the backlash in the drive train and transfer case. Happy Jeepin'.
