Rear shock mounts, rear swaybar are a good bet or maybe an exhaust mount going.

My rear end rattle turn out to be a broken sway bar mount...

I have held off on installing my H&R rear sway bar until after reinforcing the body mount and control arm tabs as this is becoming more common.

E-brake cable is sometimes the issue.

I had the same rattle, it was the shock mounts for me.

Crappy little things around the shock mounts that break free and rattle (kind of like a little dust cover or something)
