Anyone have a rattle when going over small bumps coming from rear?
I originally suspected CA bolts or shock mounts but all were tight.
Then I tapped the rear calipers and they click/rattle.

Verified by going over the bumps while applying brakes and it doesn't make the noise then.

All anti rattle clips are in place also.

Make sure all of your caliper bolts are all tight.

its only the slide pins that are loose in their holes, to fix that you'll need new caliper bracket and pins. It's a common issue on many trucks, especially fords.

What pads are you running? I recently had a friend with the same issue on her jk. She had new wearever pads and the clips were faulty.

That's what I just noticed when I was underneath prodding around.

I could wiggle the bracket about 1/8" and make that annoying clicking

Would it be just the pins need replace or are the holes for the bracket usually get wallowed out

Pull the caliper and pads. Remove the pins from the caliper being careful not to tear the boots. Clean well with brake cleaner, repack the pin cavity with caliper grease (I like Super Lube synthetic grease) and make sure boot is reseated in grooves. If pads are still good, clean the ends and clip surfaces and grease with same. (make sure clips are not worn from lack of grease) Reassemble, no more noise.

I have a 2012 Rubi unlimited and I have 73k lifted with 35's. I will be soon replacing the stock pads and such. Any suggestions as to pads calipers brands I should look at or stay away from?

If you want to move up to ceramic, this is the best deal I've seen Brake set

And of you like to spend more on the slotted rotors Brake set slotted

If you have even wear on the pads and all is working fine now, I'd leave the calipers alone.
Do follow the bed-in procedure well on any ceramic pad/rotor set up.

And as a suggestion, brake the bleeder screw loose to expel the fluid when pushing the piston back into the caliper instead of forcing the old, nasty fluid back through the system. Then top off.
