I found my crazy noise. The heat shield for the gas tank was tapping/rubbing my driveshaft. I'm not sure how it came loose but it ripped off. A few things I had lying around the house to keep it away and bam, no noise

Wow, glad you found that before it came flying off on the highway!

I cant see an 06-08 not having bucket slap with any big spacer. I went by a shop today and talked to a few guys and they are willing to install a quicklift for me on the cheap, so Im thinking of doing that.

I dont know what you mean by ranchos with coils on them as coilover struts/shocks wont work on the front without major modification. Although, it would be worth it to get rid of the spring bucket and weld in a few mounts for them

yh I considered getting the rancho coil-overs but it was really an option as matt99 stated. I have some rattling on the passenger side but I don't know what it is exactly I've taken it to a mechanic and they couldn't find anything either.
