rear suspension making knocking noises

[Lil Abner]

Well, look at the brackets. They are relatively thick brackets. Because they stand straight up on the rear, when the frame contacts it, it's a solid "THUD". To be honest, the brake bracket is the only thing that hits back there. When I did my springs, I moved the rear through it's full motion. And the brackets were the first, and only thing to hit. I have a lift in my garage, so this was easy to do.

Read through this. We talk about the brake brackets, too:

If anything, the pictures show how "low" the rear can get before contact problems. I'm not questioning your experience, I'm just suggesting that you look at those brackets. There are many others on here that have contact with them. I end-up cutting the welds, and rotating the brackets in-bound to give clearance for the frame.
