    I bought my truck used a year ago it has a leveling kit. When I drive over a bump (exp. the end of a drive way, speed bump) I get an annoying squeaking sound from the front end. I'm not sure if it's my shocks or the springs not tightened down all the way and moving? Or something else. Has anybody else had this problem or have an idea of what it might be? Help is much appreciated.

    Control Arm busing more than likely.

    Spray the LCA bushings and the top and bottom spring perches with silicone spray. Don't use WD-40 or any other petroleum based lube. They're tough on rubber.

    Don't be afraid to soak those areas down pretty heavy. Find yourself a bumpy road to work it in. Reapply if needed.

    check your hood latch.. And hood adjustment... I know it sounds funny, but it can make you think its in the suspension. you can kinda test it by pushing on your hood one side or the other... Mine makes a good bit of noise if I don't lube up the latch
