    I have a 2021 Tacoma with a level kit. With the fox suspension. But am noticing it squeaking bad over bumps. Is there a certain type of grease everyone recommends? Thank you

    Could be the mounts under the core support, control arm bushings, leaf bushings, leaf friction pads, bed mounting bolts...need to isolate the noise before anyone can suggest a fix.

    All kinds of things can and do squeak.

    More complete description (front, rear, etc) might help folks help you

    Any idea if it’s front or rear? It can be tough to tell. Might need to try and getting front then back jumping with your weight.

    While I have aftermarket leaf packs, sometimes junk builds up and they squeak. Try getting some silicon spray and using it on the saddle supports of the leafs. Drive around and see if that’s it.

    Good luck

    You have space on the fox suspension? Your front end is likely maxed, ball joints don’t like that.

    Sorry just got home from work. So I have noticed it’s definitely coming from the front. When hitting bumps you can hear the squeak.

    Most likely front body mount bushings or control arm bushings. Jump on the bumper and see if you can pinpoint
