    That is most likely leaf squeaks. Just jack each side at a time at the frame near the front leaf bushing so that the tire comes off the ground. Pry the leaf open to expose the pads on both sides of the wheel, and spray on some lube. This should take no longer than 10min to do.

    This lasts a long time for me, but usually comes back after a run through a car wash.

    Found the problem, was the oversized hood bumpers I installed a while ago. Never thought that could cause the annoying squeak.

    Probably a body mount or something In the suspension. I know this sounds odd but spray down suspected culprits with tire wet . Move to different areas till you've found it. I hate tire wet but it's good for that.

    Dealer took care of it in about an hour. They could hear it driving out of the Welcome area.

    Does it do it when it rains ?
    Start spraying areas down one at a time with water and see if it changes / goes away.

    Mines doing the same thing. I took it to the dealership and they are saying the warranty is void. I have it documented that the squeaking has occurred before the lift I installed. I installed the lift and now it is still making the noise. They charged me $124 just to diagnose the vehicle. Bc they said they can’t diagnose the vehicle without warranty.
