I also have a 4" superlift and my swaybar mount came loose at the frame on the drivers side. Alot of other guys have had problems with the track bar bracket coming loose where it bolts to the frame. The best thing to do would go over all the bolts and check them but the 2 places I mentioned are proballely the best spot to start.

Ya what Hobert said. I had this problem, replaced the stock metric bolts with good old american hardware and no more pop.
Mine did it when turning left. I got under there and could see the track bar braket actully moving.
I had a 93 1/2ton that I got so fed up with I actually welded all the brackets in place.

Yep that is the problem, it is the track bar braket, mine does it too, i know if i tighten the bolts anymore it is going to snap them, i am going to weld the track bar braket to the frame this weekend and end the problem once and for all, if i need to remove it ill grind the welds.
