Okay so i did pro comps pro runners up front, .75 topgunz rear spacers, rough country 1.25 body lift. 20x10 fuel mavericks with a -12 offset. Also 35" toyo mt. Im sorry no pics right now. I seem to have a problem in the rear. It squeaks when i go over bumps. I think its the topgunz spacers. Does anyone else seem to have this problem

Yep..right after 2.5" spacers up front, but it sounded like the squeak was coming from behind the radio. Sprayed the front down with lube and its quiet. Sound travels like crazy in these trucks.

Lay under the truck and have someone bounce up and down in the bed to see if you can locate where the sound is actually coming from. Sometimes when you add lifts/body lifts you will squeaks from the sway bar bushings/mounts,panard bar ect... About a week or two after installing a lift I always go back tighten/re-torque everything I have touched.

Had this same issue with my 2500 with the level kit on there. Turned out that the rubber insulator in the cup on the bottom was smashed a little. It curls up the inside of the coil and I had that kind of pinched when I put the spring back in. Found out when I removed the level kit and put my lift on. Made sure I reseated it properly when adding my new springs and it went away. I did like the others and sprayed some WD40 on it and that stopped it for a few weeks.
