    Two trips to the dealer and they told me it was the stock skid plates making the noise.

    Took both skid plates off and noise is still present.

    Turning into the driveway off camber or going up an incline slowly I will get a click/creak from the front suspension. Noticed I could replicate it by tapping the brakes and have the truck nose dive slightly.

    Stock TRD Off Road. 41,000 miles. Stock skid plates. Video of noise below.

    Any ideas? I am at a loss, dealer said everything suspension wise is tight.

    I thought at first it was related to the steering but not anymore.
