There's something scraping under the left side of the jeep while in a turn. Can't see anything. Couldn't find it while sitting still. Any suggestions?

In a sharp turn? Metal to metal sound? Oversized tires hitting lower control arm?

Nope! Wasn't always doing it and none of the other tires are doing it.

Does the sound go away or get louder if you hit the brakes? Could be shot pads/rotors. My old grand did that. Pads were gone, and was metal on metal.

Default figured out that issue

The muffler heat shield was scrapping the drive shaft, echoing to the front thru the splash shield.
