What do I tear apart first?
The clicking is your rear diff. Take it apart & the shims under the sun gears might be concaved. Whether they are or they aren't, add a .2mm or a .3mm shim along with the stock ones to each side to tighten the mesh up a little. And then make sure your bones aren't contacting the diff cups/drives under full compression. Limit shock up travel as necessary.
