When I was at Toyota dealer, I had the truck looked at closely during the alignment in preparation for the 33" combination. They noted that since the truck had been leveled, the front axle boots are not straight anymore and I would have to keep a close eye on the boots. I think this additional stress is causing the occ grind issues felt in the axle (usually at low speed and not always at full turn).
Is there a fix for this? Toyota said that there was no other lubrication and I just have to watch the boots. Toyota mentioned shims under the center case (transfer case) to eliminate any stress from the lift.
Has anyone experienced this and have a fix or do these shims exist? Thanks for your help.

I had this same problem when I installed my Readylift leveling kit. I'd hear a loud clunk when turning. I took it to the dealer and they said the bump stops needed lubrication. They lubed them, and 2,000 miles later, still no clunking.
