Default Clicking noise when braking...

Driving a JKU Rubi w/ 2.5 of lift on 33's mounted on procomp 8179's. Yesterday when I was braking I heard a clicking noise when I applied pressure to the brakes!!! I was driving between two buildings at the time which I'm sure helped me hear it out. Today same thing a clicking to the rhythm of the revolutions of the wheels when applying pressure. Sound is not heard unless applying pressure....had rear rotors and pads all the way around replaced about 2000 miles ago.... Anyone???? Thanks for any help.....

hmm, no real idea. if high frequency sound i would not worry about it - i only get worried when lower frequency heavy sounds come from my brakes... like grinding(not squealing)

might check torque on wheels to make sure not loose.

I haven't but I am getting it regeared on monday so I will have my buddy take a look. Truthfully idk why but I am not too concerned about it. Jeep drives great even at 80mph and brakes fines.

Mine does it too. It sound like a thin piece of metal getting hit once every rotation. Just a little tick sound and it comes from the right side.
