Jacked up the back end and put her in neutral and hand turned the wheels, the passenger side will hardly budge like the brakes are slightly applied... the drivers side has some resistance but is manageable and you can hear the grinding and clicking.
I pressed the e-brake in and out a few times and it seems to be fine. Tried moving the wheels again and getting the same thing. Do the ebrake pads need to be adjusted because of the new inner coating of the rear rotors?

The side with resistance is suspicious. They should spin freely assuming your don't have the wheels locked via a parking brake, e-locker, diff locked, etc...
I would start cutting the scope of the problem and pull your pads out and see if it still makes the noise. That might eliminate the pads and alignment. If it's still there maybe it's a CV joint going out? Or, I don't think I've actually adjusted an e-brake since the 80's, but check to make sure it's not binding. That will make some noise.
If the noise goes away, make sure everything is aligned and greased up right. In the past I have had to use anti-squeak on sports cars. I would not expect this on a 4runner, although Akibono does make some race pads. Race pads can squeal like a train.
