I've got a couple thousand miles since I lowered my hoe but the front axles pop at steering lock when going over bumps.
I've talked to a guy a work with that has a awd Silverado SS that doesn't have this problem.
Any ideas?

Likely hitting and rubbing against the steering stops when going over bumps and causing the noise. If you turn just a small bit back from steering stop and noise is gone then that is it. Or the outer cv joint could be binding. Maybe the sway bar links?

Finally got it figured out. Loose control arms in the back were making noise I had 3 suspensions guys look at it before one figured it out. I was so sold on the idea that it was the front end I kept overlooking all the stuff in the back end...
