A bit more info would be good.
Wheres the noise coming from?
Is it only at certain speeds or all the time?
Does it do it at any particular time such as turning or it's always there ?
It is full time 4wd or do you have part time kit installed?

Mate you already have a post talking about this no need for 2. Its your front drive shaft the lift has put it on an angle causing the grinding noise you are hearing. Did you put in any castor correction bushes when you done the kit. If so to fix the noise you can go a part time kit, that is your best option and this will eliminate the noise.
