The noise can be the the shock extenders did it in my f250 that I lifted and I change the shocks to the right one and it went away

Did you loosen the control arms ? If you did, it is very important to re-torque them when the Jeep is back on the ground instead of while it's jacked up. It will make the bushings bind.

Im not quite sure what was loosened. What ever i had to do to lower the suspension to remove the coil and pit it all back. I added the extenders seems like it coming from the back driver side only.
