grinding noise?

It's only happened a couple of times so far, and only when I'm turning right, but sometimes when I'm turning into a parking lot or whatever where the entrance is just slightly higher than the road, my traction control with engage, it sounds like. There's a grind and a beep. Anyone ever have this happen? I recently had work done on the rear, and somehow something with the emergency break got bent and was causing some popping up front, but that got fixed as far as I know. I have an 06 v8 limited that I bought in February with 98k miles. I've put Bilstein 5100s all around (front at 2.5") and a rear daystar 1.5" spacer on both sides. There kind of seems to be some slight vibration in the front, especially under my feet when I'm driving. I don't know much about vehicles so that could be normal.

I have a similar issue. My front tires hit the inner fender and body mount as I havent gotten to all the trimming yet. I'm fairly certain that is what is causing mine to do this.
 
Thanks for responding. I'm glad I'm not the only one experiencing this. I never had the problem on my previous 4runner with the same setup (04 sr5), so I'm wondering if there's a difference between the 06 and 04? I know it's a little wider than the 04, but I didn't think that would effect anything.
 
I would keep an eye out for rub marks on fender plastic and body mount. Get some car wax and apply it on the areas you think it may be rubbing. Let it dry and take it for a shakedown run and then see where it got rubbed off and thats where you need to trim (and your fender plastic will be nice and shiny)
