Yes on both.
It sounds like a worn out shock to me but they are brand new Bilstiens. I'm stumped. It will only rattle while driving but nothing when you rock it or bounce on the bumper. While sitting in the drive. Also the shop said ball joints were going bad and I only have 10400 miles on the Jeep.

What all comes with the rubicon express 3.5 lift? What all was replaced?
Does it happen over bumps or normal smooth road?
1)I'd start off by checking the trackbar nut and bolt at the frame. Put a wrench on it and see if you can tighten it. See if there is any wear on the frame from the bolt or nut moving.
2)Verify you shocks are tight at the tower "nut up top" look at both sides make sure they look the same meaning the you see the same amount of threads above each nut.
Get under there and put a wrench in everything that was replaced. Mechanics are only human and tend to miss stuff from time to time.
Was thinking also could it be a shock body hitting the frame rail.
2011 JKU 3.5 R.E. Longarm lift.
Possibly. I was kinda thinking that maybe his sway bar arm was making contact with the driver side coil. A common problem if the axle isn't positioned correctly.
Is it a metallic sound? How long does it last when it happens? Like one "rat-tat-tat" or more like a "clunk".
Sounds to like someone tapped their knuckle on an empty soup can (hollow sounding).
