shock rattle?
Just put on a new pair of gabriel shocks.
I didnt even think of it when i bought them, but having the D25 coils makes them further open, even when resting.
With the truck off , sitting still, i can wiggle the shock a bit, making the outer part kind of slap the inner cylinder.
I probably have my owen answer here, longer shock, keep it more compressed?
Confirm my idea if you would, cant even put them on the back, wrong mounts.

New shocks are probably a little too short now to allow for full suspension travel upwards, call or go back to where you bought them, and verify they will not be overextended. You may have to go to next longer size up shock. Also put impact gun on bolts, as you probably cannot get hand tight enough to properly compress rubber bushings, and stop from squeaking/banging, and side movement you are describing.
