    and I just got done spending over a grand on the truck and replaced everything. Not exactly ready to start hacking into the new parts.

    Squeeks huh? Hmmm. Did the main eye and shackle bushings get a thin layer of grease applied to both the outside and inside? Also, have you re-torqued your u-bolts yet?

    oh how I love a good crapstorm in the afternoon!

    Grease? Yes! Retorque? No!

    Still going with my theory of getting defective parts...

    You're not helping!

    Very annoying - sort of sounds like the noise that you get if you rub two balloons together, but its up on the annoyance scale of fingernails on a chalkboard. And its embarrassing, every time I get in and out of the truck it squeaks, over every bump, every time I stop or go..all the damn time squeak, squeak, squeak...
    And I saw that bicycle tube thing, just not up for taking everything apart right now.

    You do need to put a torque wrench back on those puppies (settle down, guys, I mean the U-bolts), especially with the roads you drive...
