Before you replace anything. Remove the lift. This resolved my issue. Seems the guy up top replaced the R&P while the lift kit was still installed. I had a loud noise and after removing the top strut spacers, noise is gone. The bottom spacer rides with no noises.

If you don't mind, how much were they going to charge you to replace the rack? I know it was covered, but did they mention how much it would be?

OK, so I took EVERYTHING apart on the suspension and inspected the CVs, inner and outer tie rods, sway bar/links, bushings, and the rack. Noise was vibrating near the tie rods and I believe it was going to the rack. I reassembled, this time WITHOUT the top strut spacer. Voila, the noise is 99% deadened. The noise was definitely a Rack noise, i'm sure the rack would've went if I kept it that way. Truck sounds so much better now. The 2" spacer on the bottom is still in to even it out a bit, but I feel disappointed that RCs products are doing this to their customer's trucks. I understand tweaking the suspension is asking for trouble, but for it to immediately wear down the rack like that is frustrating. So, keep it in and repair the rack (~$1000 part) every now and then, OR take that top spacer out OR bare with the noise. P.S. - This pertains to the 2.5" level kit, any actual suspension lift is beyond my knowledge.

Figured out on my own what happened. Overtightened the sway bar link bolts to the point where the bushings were "smushed". Untightened and retightened just enough until it was barely snug. Not a noise now. I thought I saw somewhere that it was 17-18 ft.lbs, I must have doubled that. Learn from my error, if you already knew this...nothing to see here. ​​Edit: This actually didn't fix it. Re torqued to 18 ft/lbs and it's still doing it. Any help is appreciated.

Have scoured across the interwebs for a video showing a similar sound that i'm experiencing. I installed a 2.5" Level Kit and don't remember if the sound was present upon install or after a couple thousand miles. Total miles are at about 4000 with the kit. It rides fine, just went to SC and back from FL. It's still a dream, just a funky noise when turning the steering wheel to the right. When turning to the left, it's not bad at all. I don't even think it has a sound. Please view the video link below and let me know if you have any questions or if you can diagnose it. I understand a mechanic may need to get involved, but before so, I'd like to try to fix it myself. I just re tightened everything just in case.
