I've been hearing a high pitch sound recently and need some help on where to start looking for the problem. It usually happens in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gear when accelerating. It almost seems like it's dependent on throttle pressure. If I back off the skinny pedal a tiny bit it goes away. If I go back to about the same position in the pedal's travel relative to the floor it comes back. If I hold steady pressure on the pedal and accelerate through it, the sound stops after a few seconds. It doesn't seem to be dependent on RPM because if I accelerate through the sound then release the pedal and let the RPM drop through that range again there's no sound, and I don't hear it when downshifting. I also feel like it isn't related to the brakes because the sound isn't a constant squealing. I have a '08, with the 6 speed, 3.21s, and about 33k on the clock. It has about 3 inches of lift with 33x12.5 Interco MTs on 17" wheels. I'm actually switching out my lift soon so it sits a litte bit lower. I'm just trying to gather some info on what to look for since the Jeep will be on jack stands with the wheels off anyway.
Edit: Also, it seems to be coming from the rear, but it's hard to tell.
