So, I think I narrowed the squeaking noise down to something on top of the struts. I sprayed lithium wd-40 lubricant down in the hole and drove around the neighborhood with no squeaks... I have a 2" Motofab (Amazon) spacer on top of the struts. They have been on for a long time and only started squeaking last week or so. I am assuming they will have to be replaced...

I want to keep the 2" level, but would not hate going to a 3" lift...

So, what are my options?

All depends on your budget. Can go from reasonable to expensive pretty quickly. When I had my 1500 I ran bilsteins no issues and ride was good. Fox makes some nice options too. Just make sure to get some new top hats for the struts which ever way you go.

Yup. Any top spacer will allow play in the strut top mount and can actually cause a strut top hat failure. Either need to do a proper level like leveling struts or do a full lift.
