    Ive had the suspension on for about a thousand miles and the creaking from the rear is driving me insane. How can I get it to go away?

    There's a few solutions (all can be found in other threads by searching). This is a well documented issue. I had the same problem.

    1. Install isolators yourself or at a spring shop.
    2. Zipties.
    3. Buy the updated version (spring part number starts with EL not CS).

    Have you tried putting energy suspension grease between the leafs? Can you take the rear down to where you can access between the leafs to put a thin layer of it between them? I'd clean them first really well between each and every leaf, and friction pads (if any) then slather the grease between the leafs. This stuff is tacky as hell like tree sap. It is the only thing that has been a long term fix for my squeaking leafs. When I installed my AAL I hit all of them with it.
