    So a couple weeks ago I got 5100's all the way around, fabtech 1.5 AAL, and front set to 2.5"

    Lately it's been squeaking a bit on smaller bumps, and getting in and out of the truck.

    I know squeak from after market suspension is normal but this seems excessive.

    Any knowledge of this happening and how to fix it?

    Getting there...
    Do you know if it's coming from the front or rear? Did you get new UCAs?

    Spray leaf springs with brake cleaner then load them with WD40

    Yup I was going by sound driving the truck, thought it was up front. Got out of the truck and started bouncing different parts of the truck and it was the leaf springs. Did some research and they said lift each side separately and marine lune in the creases and WD40 the whole springs
