Driveshaft clicking only when turning in 4WD

[Fistlaw]

Title says it.
Been at the shop for a few days getting axle seals replaced.
Back together and there’s a click from the front drive shaft only when in 4wd and turning.

Thoughts or ideas on how to specifically diagnose/rule things out?

TIA

My guess would be either driveshaft U-joint or the U-joints in the axle shafts.

I concur with the driveshaft u-joint. Especially if your ride has a lift, but less than 2.5 or 3", which does not necessarily require a driveshaft change due to the geometry. Although the angle is not severe enough to require a longer driveshaft, the angle does add a little more strain to the u-joints than the stock geometry.
(Hope that makes some sense)

Thanks yall. I don’t have any play in the u joints but I’m thinking that cv may be the source of the click. Very hard to diagnose.

Forgot to mention; 2.5” lift on 35s.

Just remove the driveshaft, if the noise is gone you found your problem.
