Default what am i looking for?

ok guys I lifted my 07 jeep 4 door 4in with superlift. I am still running stock tires and wheels. What do i need to be looking for as problems? i dont really fell much difference in the jeep. Just it kinda sways alittle bit but isnt that expected in the lift? and this morning when i backed out of garage and hit my break there was a loud pop sound mike the spring was popping or something when it came to a stop. the ESP isnt going off or anthing. I have recentered my stering wheel so thats good. just what else do i need to look out for so i can get it fixed before i get the 35in tires and wheels put on? Just trying to get the kinks out before thanks in advance

i'd check and make sure the sway you feel isnt from too little caster on the front angle which should be 5~7 degrees

A loud popping sound when braking could be something shifting. Are you sure that you tightened everything to the appropriate torque settings?

Okay, are you still running the factory air dam? If so, your tire lugs are probably rubbing against them.

Hmmmm, is it just like a "pop......... pop......... pop" or is it more like a "pop-pop-pop-pop" or just a single pop? Also, do you have an automatic? If so, have you checked to see how close your front drive shaft plastic boot is to the skid plate?
