Alright try to help me out the best you can.

Something up up front under my jeep is making a creeking/poping noise (best i could describe it) when it does do it it happens in all driving conditions but i can always get a responce when i put it in reverse, the cars rolling and i put on the brake. each time i release and brake it does it. The wierd thing is if i try this method in drive it wont happen.

New RE 5.5"
33'' TIRES

Track-bar I would guess. Get under the XJ and have somebody turn the wheel lock to lock while you hold the track-bar. Prob the TRE in the unibody mount.

Yup, I have RE's Track bar bracket and track bar....on the mount the bottom 2 bolts that hold the track bar bracket on the bottom side were comin' loose on me and popped like crazy, until i realized that what it was and I tighten those puppies down, no more pop.

It could be the bushings on the axle end of your jeep. I had a noise similar to that whenever I would pop it in reverse and then stop.

the trackbar does make a little noise but i think i narrowed it down... when i push the jeep up and down it seems to come from the upper control arm mount on the frame??? its a new lift re 5.5''

i have heard of this happening once or twice before, the only cure is to pull the whole lift off and send it to me for a year or two of test and trouble shooting:laugh3: :laugh3:
