creaking noise coming from lower shock mount or LCA

Ever since i installing my king 2.5 coilovers in late november of 2023, I began to notice a creaking noise and sometimes a very small popping noise. The noise was very faint at first but as of now, august of 2024, the noise has gotten louder and more apparent. at slower speeds you can hear it. It gets harder to hear after passing 25 mph due to wind and engine noise. It mostly creaks but it also can make light pop sounds. below are the videos i can best mimic the noises with. one is me just lifting the truck up and down, and the other is me in reverse out of my driveway that is on a slight grade where you can hear the popping noise i talk about. i checked my lower ball joints and as they are old at the truck having 175xxx miles on it they remain good and the boot is still good. any help or suggestions would be great because i want the truck to be dialed for desert season coming up. thanks!

 

images of the lower shock mount because i have suspicions that it is somehow connected to the noise

link the the noise

 

Used kings or new. Also make sure the lower eye is straight and check the lower control arm bolts

 

They were used, but they only had 3000 miles on them.It really sounds like it’s coming from the middle area of the LCA by the lower shock mount

other video where towards the end you can hear the popping

 

Check the two things mentioned. Honestly sounds like the lower bearing in the kings

 

i think it might be the spherical bearings
