Lifted and now rear end clicking?

Ever since my 6" skyjacker install (w/ new leaf springs) I have a clicking come from the rear of my truck. I am pretty sure I have it pinpointed to the area where the leaf spring, stock block, angled shim and traction bar mount all come together but can't for the life of me figure out how to solve it. I have re-torqued the u-bolts to 150 ft-lbs, tried lubing the area with good penetrating spray and it doesn't change.

It only happens when the body "rolls" a bit. For example, if I turn right, it will click (very metalic). If I were to turn right again, it would not do it. As soon as I turn the other direction and the body rolls slightly, it would click again. I have taken the traction bars off to eliminate them from causing the problem but it still did it. I am to the point now I am going to take it apart, thuroughly clean the area and re-install that area.

Anyone encounter something like this? It is driving me nuts and I don't like the way it sounds.

Thanks,
Greg
