    I have the same AAL but I'm pretty sure my squeaks come from mt Icon shock bushings and not the AAL

    I cut my stock leaf retainers off because the AAL was sitting on it. It could be the cause of your squeak if the AAL is on the stock leaf retainer.

    In my sig
    Check the brakeline mount on the leaf springs. The bolt rubs on my aal once in a while.

    I tried spraying a dry teflon lube and it did nothing. Ended up just saying screw it since it only seriously squeaks/creaks for a short amount of time when the truck has been left sitting for a period of time.

    Mine does the same. It squeaks only on one side though. It happend with stock leaf springs now I think it only has gotten worse.
