Sounds like a CV joint. But to eliminate the obvious inspect the tire for a nail or rock!

As slammed as he is, I would put $$ on the cv joints. Pretty common problem with lowered cars. Screws up the suspension geometry. Wow I actually used geometry.

Mines was the engine mounts that were making the sound they were busted. Once i got them fixed the sound was gone. So you can check your mounts also might be those.
