Loud metal on metal grind noise when turning into steep driveways.
Any ideas? A tire ship guy glanced at it and said he sees minor scratches on both sides of my upper trailing arms. It doesn’t happen in deep dips straight ahead, only in turns (left and right). It only happens when suspension is fully crunched down (depressed?). I just put in 275/65/18’s on stock suspension but have zero rubbing. What would cause this?

Sounds like your tires are too big and rubbing something.
How are the fender liners looking? They torn up at all? It's amazing how rubber on plastic can sound a lot like metal on metal

275/65/18 will definitely cause rubbing on the liners and possibly the suspension bits.

Can you post pics of the UCA scraping? Have a close look at the inside lip of your front wheels and see if there's any evidence of scraping there as well.

I am not an experter on wheels and tires. If the noises only happens on turn, it only could happen in either wheels/tires and/or ball joins. Since it is happened after you changed tire size and happened on both turns, logically, it will have to do with the over size tires.
