I just installed a 3″+ lift on my Jeep JK Wrangler with automatic transmission, went wheeling and now I here a click-click-click sound coming from underneath. What could it be?

More than likely, your front drive shaft boot has made contact with your automatic transmission skid plate and is now torn. Unfortuantely, the only fix for this is to replace your entire driveshaft as the boot is not serviceable. You should be fine with the tear for a while but I would recommend replacing your factory drive shaft with an aftermarket double cardin u-joint style unit as they will be considerably narrower in diameter and will not make contact with the skid plate.
