First noob question Armsup

I have a rather loud bearing noise in my Jimny. not exactly know where it's coming from though.
It's much louder when slowing down then it is cruising along.
every bearing through out the front and rear diff have been replaced within 4 to 6 months.
Is there a way to find were it could be coming from with out pulling apart every thing

Would 3" of lift put alot of pressure into my pinion bearings at all?
I have castor corrected arms in the front but the rear still has stock arms.

hi mate need more specifics when it comes to diagnosing the problem like, does it happen when you take it out of gear and coast at speed on highway, does the noise change when you engage or disengage the clutch, does the noise go away or change under braking or going left or right around corners. have the wheel bearings been replaced put your ear to the gearbox and transfer levers does it amplify. Just try to do things that eliminate one section of the car at a time to determine the area it comes from, get a mate to listen as you drive past or stick your head out the window, unfortuanatly can be alot of things.

Clutch engage and disengage still does it
Does it while coasting but much worse when slowing down
Every single bearing you can think of in a diff has been replace
Still there while braking but louder because I'm slowing down
It's also louder when going going around corners
