Popping noise
Have a 2010 Jk two door with a two inch lift of it on 35s and am hearing a popping noise from the rear end when I start to drive forward from a stop. Any suggestions on what it might be.

I have pretty much the exact same setup, and am now hearing the same thing...did you ever figure out what it was?

Same thing here, though I would call it more a solid clunk than a pop.
I first thought suspension, so given it was time, I replaced all control arms & bolts, shocks, springs & track bar bolts, but it was still there.
Then noticed exhaust was a little loose, so decided to replace that, again, it was time anyway, but still no luck.
Next things to check:
Broken transmisssion or transfer case mount (I add this as I checked things while I was replacing the exhaust this weekend and I was able to move my transfer case some, not sure if this is normal or not)
Something with rear differential?
I'm open to other suggestions on what to check.

I had the same thing happen to me when I owned a Camaro SS. I put ZMax in it and it was gone. That product cleans your system. U put it in ur oil, gas tank, and somewhere else I forgot but get that or some kind of cleaner.

I had the shop that installed my lift (2.5 AEV) check it out yesterday and they heard the noise but were unable to figure out what it was...
I really don't think that it is anything in the transmission...the only reason I say that is that is it only happens when stepping into it from a complete stop...nothing happens when crusing around...
transfer case mount sounds like a possibility...I am going to check that out next.

When you say sticking, what do you mean? I know for me it's clearly a metal on metal clunk. Just trying to get an idea of what it could be in the brakes so I can check them out and look for something not right.

For mine, I've had it since new (11/07), but it has not done it always, it's really become noticeable in the last year and seems to be getting louder.
