Recently Lifted
First off i have a 99 4runner, 3.4, 4x4.
This weekend i finally got around to lifting it with OME/OME in rear and TRD tundra setup up front. I had no problems with anything but today i discovered a new tick/click sound when i start to accelerate any ideas?

pics would be nice to see. As far as the clicks/ticks you are hearing, maby it is just the sound of being new before everything breaks in, but maby another person would no better.

Make sure all your bolts are tight, the smallest play can cause noise
I've missed one bolt before and it played havoc untill I figured it out
try greasing the u-joint too, see if it gets quiet

If I was to guess and knowing that your ujoint is already bad, I'd say the slightly different angle of the rear driveshaft changed the position of the ujoint just enough so the wear pattern doesnt line up like it used to and now makes a clicking sound.
but that is 100% a complete guess

i just lifted my 4runner two days ago with tundra up front and land cruiser rears using bilstiens all around. i also put on a 1 inch body lift and sitting on 35's. i am having the same problem clicking only occurs when slowly accelerating and maintaning same speed. i also noticed slight click as coming to a stop. to me it sounds like a u joint issue. does anybody know if greasing will take car of the problem? i also noticed a vibration while accelerating at any speed and everything goes away while just coasting.

At the front of your rear drive shaft, grease the hard to see zerk that is between the ujoints on your double cv. look hard its there. noise will go away. Had to do this about a week after putting 3" lift on my 01 runner. good luck.
