Hmm... Since I have not experienced it, it is hard to lock into what it may be. Allow me to give a few guesses though. If the noise is from the rear, could it be the parking brake cable is stretched and causing the brakes to grab a little? Try removing the bracket on the control arm that holds the cable, if you think that might be a problem. Maybe the joints on the rear driveshaft were in bad shape and the lift increased the angle enough to cause noise and vibration? If the noise is from the front, perhaps the CV boots are expanding from the rotational speed and rubbing on something? Or maybe the CV boots were replaced at one time when the CV's themselves should have been replaced too and the extra angle is causing noise and vibration? You might try jiggling things around like axle shafts and driveshafts to see if there is any slop or play in them. If you find slop somewhere it needs to be looked into further. Hope this helps, and keep us posted on what you find out.
