    Welcome.

    If it were me, I’d crawl underneath it and visually inspect everything. Next, check wheel bearings and make sure tires are within balance.

    We'll need better analytics, or we're just guessing.
    Mine is that after you did a 4 INCH lift you prolly stressed the front axles a scoche.

    4 inches is pretty high on these trucks. What type of lift? Did you get it aligned after? Check all of your u joints on the driveshaft and especially the carrier bearing.

    What lift is this? Is it a new front cradle type that relocates the lower control arms and has new or lengthened spindles? Or just spacer / coil / upper A arm with no cradle? 4" is beyond what the factory geometry will reasonably allow. 3" is pushing it. RCD has a 6" and I believe TC has a 4.5" maybe? that use a new front cradle to relocate the lower arms. The front diff needs to be lowered to match the new angles up front. Regardless, the lift will change the angle of the drive shafts, both front and rear and could exacerbate a failing part, such as a bad U-joint. The rear lift, if done improperly, can severely change the rear pinion angle and cause issues with the joints. More info / pics would be helpful.
