If you have a go pro the inside of the rear bumper is perfect for mounting it to watch one side or the other of the suspension. Maybe worth trying to see if you can isolate the sound.

That photo was taken before I restored the suspension to the original Z55 suspension. The previous owner stripped out the Z55 suspension and installed cheap struts in the font and coil-over shocks in the rear.

After short hwy test looks like it rides much softer on patholes vs belltech setup. And dfive shaft angle is 1° off from factory angle, not bad fix for 4" drop in the rear
Also on hard braking clunk from the rear is gone, now i have to figure out clunk noise from both front sides when is wet outside. Must be darn ball joints
