Metal on metal noise.

I'm hoping someone can help with this. I have a 2020 Jeep Gladiator 4 1/2 inch lift on 33's. I recently noticed a metal on metal sound when the Jeep has been sitting for a few hours and I put it in drive and let the Jeep roll under it's own power without touching the gas or brakes. I took it to the dealership service department told them what was going on and played a recording of the sound for them. The service advisor made a recording of the sound and said they would call later. Long story short I was told they had 5 or 6 tech's under the Jeep and one point all trying to duplicate the sound with no luck, and of course the only time they heard the noise was when the advisor hit play on his phone. They stated they did not see any evidence of metal on metal rubbing and thought maybe it was the backing plates on the rotors making contact but were not sure. So this morning as I pulled out of the garage the noise was back but as soon as I stepped on the gas the noise stopped. Any ideas?

Easy now, got a good deal on the lift at the time it was installed. U-joints, drive shafts all stock.

LOL - all is good, just wondering. I would give the carrier bearing a look as well as look for any signs of grease on the bottom of the tub where the rzeppa joints are.

My mistake, it's a 3 1/2 lift not 4 1/2. I know I should still be running 35's minimum but not ready for the expenses of re gearing at this point.
