You still have the mono springs in the rear? Ever feel and wheel hop? I could see the rear shifting if you hit a nasty pot hole with all the weight shifted to the other side. I can not imagine the rear shifting that much with the multi leaf setup.

If you look at the stock size tires GM offered they had a fare amout of clearance between the rubber and metal.

No wheel hop I have multi leaf setup I'm a little apprehensive about driving it don't want it to happen again and rippe a quarter panel should the bolt on top of the shocks in the trunk be as tight as I can get them seemed a little loose when to put a wrench on them

I don't see that as likely being from suspension movement. Otherwise I'd expect you would have crushed the lip in, not pulled it out. But by all means, inspect for any shiny spots that don't belong, to indicate any suspension sliding.

Holy crap man, you're getting a lot of movement. Maybe the front eye on the leaf spring is broken? Had that before, but the rearend didn't walk forward like that.

Prolly shouldn't have used those mud terrain tires too!
Tire must be catching it just right.
