    Just added toolbox and roof-rack to haul my fishing boat 100's of miles into the backwoods every week. Goodrich K02s, Bilstein 5100 front and back, no lift.
    I am off road every week. Just pressure wash them. No grease or lube needed. Mine squeaked like crazy too, until I kept them clean after every off road trip. Zero squeaks in the last 5 years.

    Recently dealt with the same sort of annoying squeaks. Silicone spray, penetrating spray, leaf springs, sway bar bushings, I tried everything.

    Spare tire needed a half a crank more - Squeak solved.

    Stock wheels and suspension. Random "utilitarian" mods featured on this great forum.
    Mine was one of the c-shaped leaf retaining brackets. This was when my truck only had a couple thousand miles. Found the bracket, bent it back and hasn't made a noise since.

    Have a squeak too but seems to be from the front suspension as well as rear leaf springs
