See if your exhaust is tapping the top of your crossmember

Your exhaust could also be hitting your leaf spring. When you say you checked u-joints, did you check the ones in the front axle shafts?

Yes I replaced my passenger side axle shaft u joint that did not solve it. The rattle is more towards the front. I've already shook the exhaust and not rattle.

The reason I changed that passenger side axle shaft u joint is because it had play in it, the driver side u joint is fine
