Off the top of my head, a few things you may want to consider are:
1 - Wheel bearings (oh god, hope not)
2 - Front u-joints going bad
3 - Tie rod ends
4 - The slip shaft on the front drive shaft may need to be lubed. Not the double cardan joint, the actual shaft splines.
5 - The double cardan joint on the front drive shaft.
I'd get the truck up on a frame lift and get the weight off the wheels. Start check those things with no weight on the suspension or driveline and it may help find the issue.
Being lifted liek you are, those areas are gonna take a beating.

It better not be ball joints!! I only have 13k miles on the clock and I don't off road it. The lift has only been on for about 2k miles. Wouldn't ball joints make noise all the time though?

Mine does the same thing, but only when I'm backing up and hit the brakes, usually out of my driveway. Please keep me posted on this if you find out what it is.

YES!!! Thats what mine does. And the it pops back in place once you hit the brakes again going forward for the first stop, then it doesn't do it again till you hit the brakes in reverse again.

I don't think its the ujoints because when I had my truck in the shop for the tranny, they pulled the driveshaft out and sent it to an outside shop. The guy said they did not need to be replaced because they were fine and he would just be putting the same thing back in, and he just balanced it. I guess that doesn't mean they could be making noise though, I have no clue.

Mine has been doing this for 3+ years and I still haven't found the cause. I gave up trying. I figured when it finally breaks I'll know what to fix.
