Slight popping sound when starting on a hill after Jeep lifted

[snowd0gg]

I had my 2018 JLU lifted a few months ago - 2.5" lift with 35x12.50R17 tires on 17x8 wheels. The Jeep rides great, no problems, but I've noticed that, when I am sitting still (especially on an incline) and start off, I often hear a little pop sound, which sounds like something settling in, but I'm not sure what. Sometimes it's louder than others, but nothing real loud.

Has anyone experienced this? Should I get the shop to check it out? Thoughts?

Probably something not torqued right and or loose. I'd have the shop look at it for sure.

Similar to what @Remmy said, but focus your initial attention on the disconnects. If it's a "higher-pitched" clinking sound, it's likely the disconnects that need to be re-torqued. Also, make sure you soak your bushings and joints with a silicone spray. I'm using the WD-40 version. This will help with any creaks, squeaks and pops, while also extending the life of your gear. Happy Hunting!
