OW Lift on - Noise from driver side wheel area - help

The problem has been fixed, the brake rotor backing was rubbing the rotor.
I"ll leave this here incase it helps anyone in the future.

I got my OW 2.5" lift kit put on my SR5 today. Also I have Total Chaos UCA's

The truck still has the stock rims / tires (more on order)


23-3/4" front from center of hub
24" rear from center of hub

Front was 25" when i got it, so I lowered it down


Problem:

There is a noise coming from my front driver side hub / wheel well area.

At 40 mph its a quick whoosh whoosh

the slower you get the louder it gets

around 20 mph and lower it turns into long scratching noise. Think of branches scraping each other, etc. Not quiet.

At 5 mph - stop , it squeels like its the brakes


When I had the front of my truck lifted lowering the coilovers, I turned the drivers wheel and it made noise, the passenger side made zero noise.


I picked up my truck after close today. I didn't think to listen for anything until I was half way home (15 miles). The shop is closed tomorrow.

I'm going to take it to a tire / brake shop tomorrow morning. I've searched all over the boards and the net. Could be u joints / bearings / cv , i just need to get it on a lift.
Hope those guys aren't closed for new years eve.

Any suggestions / thoughts?

Did you get the sway bar spacers and the front support bracket spacers? I'm thinking its the sway bar rubbing something considering you have the stock wheels on. But I am not a professional its just an opinion.

I don't have anything that sounds like that myself and I have a similar setup just with different wheels.
 
Fixed!!!!

I was seriously sick over this.

Took it up the street today and instantly the guy knew what it was.

"that's your brake rotor backing plate"

So he went in and pushed it back and just like that, noise gone.

I drove it 30 miles after that and no noise.
