    My truck is a 2016, 4 door TRD Sport package. It developed that squeaky noise last year in the winter. Same as you, sounds like it's coming from the back somewhere. And like you, I jumped on bed, both sides or the truck, go over pot holes and try to make it rock a bit but nothing. Took it to the dealership and had them go over it but they couldn't find anything. Everything on mine is still stock so it's gotta be something from the factory. Only thing with my truck is that it's only once in a while, it's not a constant squeak so I've pretty much just left it alone.
    Hope you figure it out though. Good luck

    Wet down each area one at a time that you think the squeak is coming from and then immediately drive it. Water sucks as a lube but it will stop the squeak for a short time. Take the same route. When you wet down the offending part and it stops, that is what you look at.

    Just use a hose and pinpoint each area well without getting water on other areas you may suspect.

    I got it.
    Bought my 2016 7 months ago and its irritating as all hell.
    Gonna take it in soon to have it looked at. Hopefully the fix is covered under warranty. Fingers and legs crossed.

    I just wanna say I had the squeak bad but I've since put some motorcycle chain lube on the pads that were squeaking and it last a long ass time. My squeak only came back a year later because used a HOT pressure washer to really try and clean my pads before I put in my AALs. The squeak came back after that and I sprayed some more chain lube on and it's gone now.

    If you're looking for something new to try, and you know it's your leaf pack making the nose, maybe give it a try.

    I was able to eventually figure it out. Trial and error. And thank you to everyone’s advice. I hit my leafs with lithium grease. And problem solved.
    Thank you !!

    I'm at 2" with 6112's and front CV boots are level. In the rear, I went with a 1.5" block to avoid such noise issues :bananadead: This range of lift should cause NO issues if installed correctly.

    265 70 17 - Falken Wildpeak - about the beefiest looking A/T's you can get which helps them look adequate for a 2" lift
