Popping/rubbing noise from front tire
So whenever I go over a large bump in the road or make the suspension of the truck travel more than a few inches quickly there is like a popping- rubbing noise that comes from the front drivers tire. I'm thinking it could be the shock but I haven't noticed any performance issues at all. Maybe it's the sway bar mount? What do you guys think?

Are you coil or torsion bar? Mine has coils.
I have some of those pops in my suspension as well. But I also have some vibration issues and tires wearing out of round. My bushings have finally given up.
I am replacing all my bushings in the front with polyurethane, also new ball joints and bearings.
Your upper ball joints can pop like that when they start to give out.

It all depends on how you drive it, cruise or beat it off road. Usually when a ball joint starts to go, they really wont make alot of noise. Check the ball joint boots anyway for grease leaking while you're looking at te sway bar links.I have seen some ball joints go 100k, but like I said, it all depends on how its driven
