I'm surprised nobody has mentioned exhaust yet. Check for any contact between your shackle and the exhaust. Also, check for the leaf spring retainer bolt knocking against any exhaust piping. That's my current issue, I was just going to hammer a dent in the exhaust to avoid it...lol. It's all kind of a tight space there, especially with aftermarket exhaust and 2.5"+.

So it wasn't the rear seat, locked tight like it should be. I have checked the exhaust front to back and it doesn't seem to be that either. I'm really leaning towards something tapping inside the drivers rear drum, but won't be able to pull it off until Sunday maybe.
