Illumina & Progress: Rear Passenger Strut Noise

I've had this setup for a while now with a Addco RSB. I love the setup but whenever I have load in the rear two passengers, for example, and I go over humps in the road, moderate changes in the slope of the road that cause the struts to decompress and then compress, the right rear strut makes a loud rubbery noise. I've tried many things...adjustments to RSB, took the rear struts to stock and still...the problem exists. Any advice/suggestions?

Could it be the bumpstops?

If the strut shows no evidence of damage (leaking oil) then I would bet it's a rubber part of the suspension. It would be worth replacing all the rubber parts in both rear suspension assemblies.
