    6 inch Douche Bag lift...what else do I need?
    Sounds like it may be time to pull the UCAs out and give everything a good inspection and cleaning. I have the same UCA set up and have driven the truck pretty hard but have never had any significant squeaking. It could be something else....

    Thanks. I think you’re right. As soon as I get a chance to work on it I’ll fix those spaces and clean those bearings. Hopefully that fixes it

    In your picture the Heim joint on the rear looks twisted. Its not perpendicular to the UCA bolt, its at more of a 20* angle. Can you loosen the locknut and twist it back so it sits correctly? Do you see it? Not sure that's the cause, but its probably simple to correct.

    I’ve actually moved it straight before before and the squeak didn’t go away

    Yea I fixed it. Thanks! The spacers were on backwards on the bottom of the shock mount. The bearings are worn out so there’s a little bit of a squeak, but it’s no where nearly as bad as before.
