[QUOTE="raptortrav001, post: 1874652, member: 57845"] My rattle ended up being 2 things...1st was the driver sway bar end link. While on the truck there appeared to be no play or wear at all on them and felt solid. I took them both off and found that both sides had no resistance in the joint and felt very loose. I also found the driver-side link had the smallest amount of play in the joint and if I did a push/pull type movement while in your hand you could feel an ever so slight "click" in the joint. It honestly felt too small to be that big of a deal but ends links should have zero play so I replaced them with OEM parts and got a 90% improvement in my rattle. The last 10% was small pea gravel-sized rocks that managed to work their way between the skid plates and the frame. After removing, cleaning, and retorquing the skid plates, she is as quiet as a new truck! [/QUOTE]
