I'll echo that if you have that popping, you'll know exactly what's being described in these posts. For us, it happened a lot with bigger temperature swings (Mountain day heat to mountain evening/night cool down). It would cycle around the rig from jack to jack, front left (nearest the hydraulic tank) then down the two other left side jacks, around the back and up to the front right, jack by jack in sequence. It's a worrying thing when you first hear it, or was for us.
It's a common problem, and after a lot of searching I found an explanation that it was static being released. Spraying the jacks when out with a silicon spray every once in awhile worked well. And we carry some square plank pads to keep the jacks from having to extend too far or too unevenly. We don't get it since.
