Help with squeaking

[moodygunner]

Hey guys so since the 2/3 drop my 4x4 is squeaking like crazy. I can push down on the front and rear end and it squeaks. It evens squeaks a little when i step outta the truck and I'm only 200lbs. It is driving me crazy. Any ideas? My drop was 2" GF coils with stock height monroe struts up front and 3" BellTech leaf springs with 4" drop monroe shocks.

How many miles are on the truck?

10k miles on it now but only 2000 miles since the drop was done.

No sway bars

I'm thinkin it could be the ball joints/tie rods

thats what i was thinking, prob lower ball joints but kind of a educated guess. lift that sideup and try to move the tire

Is it normal to have ball joint problems at 10k miles on a 2008 ram?

my aftermarket upper shock bushing type things squeak on the back

no but the age fits i beleive but i really am second guessing its that but it very well could be cause i doubt its anything else

update.....

ok so i took it to Tire Kingdom (while getting 2 defective calipers replaced) and they checked out the ball joints, body frame bolts and whatnot. They said everything was solid under there and didn't see any major structural problems so they just lubricated everything and that stopped it for now. When I get home next month I will take it back and crawl under there with them. Thats the cool thing about Tire Kingdom, they allow you to be next to the mechanic when he works.
