What kind of pop, on what side of the truck, what KIND of truck (2wd, 4wd, mileage...), any maintenance done recently, what year, can you attach a video / sound clip...

My first thought would be ball joints. Mainly because I had an explorer with the same noise and that's what it turned out to be.

Check your leveling kit, ball joints, tie rod ends, and IWE hubs

It's the steering bump stops from the angle of the leveling kit. Most guys have just greased them and they are fine. I just put new tires on mine and the noise is gone now

Or it's the angle on the upper control arm which is why people suggest getting upgraded ones to fix the angle
