Yikes. Really guys? It's the mufflers hitting the driveshaft. Does no one understand geometry?

So i put in a different rear end the other day, and no more scratching with folks in the back! Go figure. I guess it had nothing to do with the suspension after all.

Cool....after rereading the original post it kinda sounds like the problem my dad's ranger has....stripping the splines on the axle and spider gears. So either A it was an axle issue or something before was loose and you tightened it up when it was put back together.
