rear end pop/click

I was wondering if any of you guys would have an idea why my truck is making a clicking/popping noise. It sounds like its coming from the rearend. I dont do burnouts or anything, but it does have 33's on it. Its a 97' F150 4x4 4.6L V8

U-Joint? Worn Cross Pin? Worn Carrier? Loose Suspension part? Loose or broken Sway bar links? The list can go on.......

When or what makes it happen?

i dont think its the u-joint.Sometimes it does it when you back up, and sometimes when you take off and maybe a time or two after youve taken off.

Crawl under and see if there's play in the rear drive shaft. You'll here a clunk if the carrier or cross pin have some wear on them causing a driveline clunk when the slack is taken up starting and stopping.
