Retorque everything. I had the same issue with rattling after I installed my TF 2.5 coil lift.. Mine was a loose shock, control arm, and front track bar. Retorqued and haven't had any issues since.

Check to make sure your front coil springs are all properly seated in the perch, if they rotate even a few degrees you will get noise since they are not flush against the index slot (for lack of a better term).

Uh oh. Now I'm worried because I took mine off. lol. Why so, Teraflex?

I used two vice grips and anything I could to pry those brackets open as much as possible. Being careful not to damage the brake line. After that, sprayed it down with some WD-40 and started at one end of the bracket and just started pulling nice and easy down the entire length until the brake line was free.

Oh. Just realized you were talking about the rear brackets.

I took off my front brake line brackets from the brake line. Don't recall there even being rear brake line brackets. Hmmm...

Now I was talking about the rears are you talking about the fronts? If so then there's nothing wrong with doing that.

The front track bar is the one that's under the steering wheel bar right? That one seems a little loose. But I am pretty sure it's the break brackets, cause it sounds just like when I move it a little to when I go over a bump. I just don't see how it be moved to make a sound?

I played around with the springs, they seem to be perfectly flushed.
