    Hard to diagnose with that little information.

    Post several photos from different angles from the front and rear of the vehicle showing the suspension, CV axle, and other various parts. Then we have a better idea of what we're looking at.

    I'm especially interested in the "3inch lift kit" you have listed in your profile. What brand is it? How old is it? Is it a spacer lift? Have you ever checked your suspension bolts torque values to ensure nothing is loose? When is the last time you have had an alignment? Are your lower control arm bushings seized?

    How many miles are on your truck?

    The questions go on and on.

    That would be my first guess. Jack it up, wiggle it around, should be able to hear or feel something. Grab wheel at 12 and 6. If it wiggles, probably wheel bearing.
