Default Problems with my 01' sport

First problem is that I have a howling noise and a clanking noise coming from my rear end when I let off the gas. I have replaced all the u-joints and had the fluid in the rear diff and trans changed. The truck has 39,000 miles on it.

The second problem that I have is that the truck sits about 2" lower on the the drivers side then the pass side? I have replaced the shocks, track bar, sway bar links, and even a new coil spring. I checked out everything in the front and havent found anything out of the ordinary! I checked the rear spring pack also and didnt find anything. It has a BDS lift in the front(coil spacer) it looked fine when i put the new spring in though.

The next thing is Does anybody know where I can find a new sport bumper for the front? Aftermarket? The dealer wants $850 for the cover and beam assemmbly. The guy I bought the truck from cracked up the original and replaced it with a chrome bumper and chrome grille, but then he painted it black over the chrome! Doesnt look the best!

Thanks for any info that you might have! I am new to the site and from what I have read so far I am impressed!

Not really sure on that one, but the clanking noise is coming from the rear, figured it was related noises!
