The Airlift bags I installed in my RCSB 2/4 dropped truck are making some very annoying squeaking sounds. Any thoughts on how to eliminate the noises?

Is the squeaking noise coming from the brackets or from the actual air bag when they are being loaded and unloaded?The Airlift bags I installed in my RCSB 2/4 dropped truck are making some very annoying squeaking sounds. Any thoughts on how to eliminate the noises?

Air is low enough that it can't be read on a tire gauge, maybe I need different air gauge for low pressure applications. Noise seems to be in the spring/airbag area.Is the squeaking noise coming from the brackets or from the actual air bag when they are being loaded and unloaded?
What air pressure are you running in the bags?
What did you do to resolve it?After I went 2/4 my truck squeaked like hell. It was the springs loading and unloading...speed bumps, shifting into drive or reverse from park, etc.
Only the front end of the four links were left untouched, the rears reinstalled in a Inez no-cut relocation brackets, but were tightened with a floor jack under the diff.Easy enough to isolate the noise,dig out a spray bomb of silicone lube and spray each bag individually with it.It could also be your locating arm bushings instead of the bags if you didn't slack the arms off and re-torque them after lowering,ran into that on a buddies truck a few years back
Turned the stereo up a couple clicks, lol. I didn’t do anything, eventually the springs settled and it doesn’t squeak anymore. Have everything ready for 4/6 drop currently so it’ll probably squeak again.What did you do to resolve it?
Might be the upper coil springs more than the bottom of the spring. If you still have your stock springs, check and see if they have the rubber coil sleeves on them.Thank you for the part number, I have noise also from rear springs. Hopefully it helps.
