Front end “popping”

I have a 2015 F150 5.0 4x4 with a 6 inch zone offroad lift. Recently the truck has developed a front end popping sound similar to a bad strut or swaybar link, however when checking things over I could not even get a millimeter of play in anything (ball joints, wheel bearings or swaybar links) and was wondering if anyone has any ideas what it could be? Struts are also brand new within a year.

Worn swaybar BUSHINGS will do that too. No, not swaybar endlinks, bushings where it attaches to the frame.

If you did a suspension lift instead of a body lift, check the cv joints on the front drive axles as they could be getting over stretched and pop in and out, particularly on turns.
