Here is mine now after putting Crown lowering coils on the belltech strut. I am finally happy with it.
How many rings did you put on the strut? Belltech told me 3 to get stock strut length. I also have 3" crown coils and 4x4. mines almost touching the fender. Can I ask what you did in the rear and how does it ride? I have viking d220 and its slamming the bump stops. The ride quality is not good right now.

If your not hitting the bump stops, I bet it's the shackles hitting the bed. May have to trim the bed rib directly above the shackle
I wonder if this is what mine is doing, I have the same issue and I'm running the viking d220. when it hits its loud in the cab. I have the button style bump stops and 4wd.

If any of you guys experiencing rear noise issues when hitting bumps are running the rear Hellwig sway bar, it will hit the spare tire shield a bit before you hit the axle on the bump stops. Causing a pretty loud klunk.

This had me confused for some time. I was trying to figure out why I was bottoming out so often. When it was the sway bar hitting and I still had 1-2" of suspension travel.

I'm having the same issue with the same wheel set up when coming off the curb in my drive way. I noticed it burned the inside of the fender flare. I'm looking at getting helper bags.

Truck looks ****!

The only time I had issues with the rubbing was on a road trip with a loaded truck, 4 men, and 4 bikes hanging way off the back. It would rub on the freeway when hitting bridge transitions at speed. Since I put the air shocks on it has not done it, even when towing our camper.

Mine was loaded to and my curb on my drive way is a pain. My 2014 Mercedes E class would scrape at going in an angle. I am going to get a set of helper bags next.
