Leaf Springs Squeak

[EddiieeG10]

So I have a 2016 ram 3500 7 in lift, shocks are a month rebuilt, but ive been noticing a really big creaking/squeaking noise usually when I go over bumps and it sounds like it’s coming from the rear, which I think it’s the leafspring itself. I noticed this gap on the leaves springs and one side is a little bit bigger than the other. Should I 1/4 rubber squares in between the leaves or do you guys think it might be a different problem?

Generally squeaks in my experience are rubber bushings somewhere that are dried out of just going bad. I don't see any run marks on the pictures, so not sure if that is your problem. Could load 1,000 pounds in the bed and see if squeak stops, but wouldn't be certain the spring is the problem. If it doesn't stop, more than likely not the parts you took pictures of.

Okay cool, yea it sounds like its in the middle of the body, because sound is heard as i hit the speed bump first, then when front tire hits ground, and when rear hits the bump as well, still sort of sounds like the middle of the truck. Im thinking it might be bushings in this radius arm (This is the radius arm right?) from the lift. Will need to have someone jump on the truck while i go under there and see lol
