    Welcome!

    Mine is not lifted at all, but my leaf springs have squeaked over bumps since I bought it. It drive me nuts for a couple weeks, but I don’t notice it anymore. If you search around the site, it is a common issue with these trucks. There are a few solutions for it such as lubricating the leaves or adding rubber spacers in between them.

    All Tacoma leaf springs squeak, some sooner than others.

    There are various TSBs and home remedies out there.

    In fact, leaf springs have squeaked so long (all all marquess, since their invention) there are a number of generic aftermarket remedies as well.

    I will say this. Don't bother with the dealer, as they'll blame it on your blocks. Do your 'how to' searching here or via the Google.

    This will get you started on possibilities.

    Welcome to TW! Try Fluid Film ( https://amzn.to/2TQPnAX ) on your leafs. Usually gets the squeaks right out.
