    My brother in laws dad owns Rusty's Offroad, they are pretty much strictly jeep parts but my brother in law seems to think that their rx300 remote resorvoir shocks will work on my 2007 prerunner. The reason I am wanting new shocks is because the rear suspension squeaks every time I either go over a bump or even just getting in and out of the truck. My guess is they are extended from the lift. Do I get these shocks or a different kind or is there a solution to all the squeaking?

    Just measure your minimum and maximum flex and match that up.

    But a squeaking problem is most likely a spring problem not the shocks.

    Judging by the pic of the shocks, I'm pretty sure they mount differently.

    And x2 on the squeaking coming from the leafs and not the shocks. Just unbolt the rear shocks it's really easy to do. Dont need to jack it up or anything the leaf springs hold the weight of the truck.Once unbolted see if the squeak is gone or not.

    Thanks guys. I had my doubts on those shocks, and a friend had suggested that the squeaking was more than likely the leaf springs. I will definitely check though.

    spray the leafs with a bunch of WD-40 and see if it goes a way. if it does pressure wash them out really good, and spray more wd-40 thats what i did and it has not come back. that was back in early fall that i did it. it’s because dust and dirt gets in there and moves around when the springs compress and it makes that sound.
