    the only creaking sound i had after installing my lift was the sway bar rubbing on my coils. but it creaked whenever i went over a bump, not turning.

    Do what I do.

    Turn your radio up till you don't hear the creak anymore.

    Does the fact that you have an AAL affect your ability to get the TSB done?

    I think my local dealer may be more interested in collecting warranty money and keeping me happy maybe?

    This is the second new Taco I have bought from them in 3 years....

    They also offered to the leaf TSB without much urging on my part...I asked? They said yes. I then changed my mind.....

    Ok, narrowed it down. It's not when I turn it's when I apply the brakes and the weight of the truck shifts to the front, it creeks, and pops? Any suggestions? Just want to make sure I didn't F$#k things up

    Mine did that for about 300 miles then went away, I think it might just be a break-in period

    I wish it was just a "break in" period, but a couple of days after installing them, i traveled back to Missouri form Mississippi...so the 800+ miles should have been enough. I may just take it in to get looked at?
