Ringing noise from rear end

I’ve looked all over the threads for the better part of two weeks looking for an answer to this noise. Any time i go over any deviation in the road the rear ended of my truck makes a ringing noise like someone tied a bell to the back of it. I can’t pin point it’s exact location so i’ve been going over everything and tightening things down and nothing seems to work. if anyone else has had this issue and figured it out your input would be appreciated

 

Squeaky leaf springs? Spare tire chain?

 

Spare tire lowering chain?

 

I originally thought it might be the leafs, but it’s not really squeaky it’s Identical to a bell like somethings loose. I don’t think it would be the chain ether since i’ve had the truck it has yet to make the noise until very recently and the chains been there the whole time

 

Dont think. Check.

It's free to do, and stuff does sometimes move.

 

Fair point, I’ll try and zip tie it or something so it doesn’t move and test it tomorrow

Zip tied it with a towel around it and the noise is still there, I may just take the spare out completely and see if it’s loos because it lost a little bit of air

 

Mount a GoPro underneath and drive around.

 

Maybe your truck is prepping for Christmas?

Idk why but your description reminds me of the drive line.

 

I'd be looking at the chain as well.

 

I don’t have a go pro, but i through my phone in the bed https://youtube.com/shorts/9gSsNJn-3R4?feature=share

 

Got a rock/bolt bouncing around on top of your spare?

 

That could be, i’ll be removing the spare later so i guess we’ll find out

 

Check u bolts, but does sound like a chain rattling

 

i’ve checked the U bolts several times over, and there tight

 

Soak those leafs in cosmoline rp-342 until the dry. That will never squeak again.

 

The only thing I can think to do is put the truck on jack stands and crawl under it with a dead blow hammer and start tapping around to see if you could find the rattle

 

Did this and it’s seems like it’s coming from the brackets that hold the leaf springs, it wasn’t an identical noise, seemed like a quieter version.

 

Trailer hitch still installed?

 

Sounds like you got a bunch of wrenches rattling around in your bedside compartment.

 

As an aside, this thread ahead given me a great idea for a prank. Buy some cheap bells and zip-tie them up under my friends trucks when they aren’t looking,
