Hello everyone , I just installed a 4" zone lift in my 05 and now after I drive around for about 15 min I start to get a really annoying sqeak noise coming from the drivers side rear brake area, it comes and goes anywhere between 5 and about 40 mph and it will happen when im not even applying the brakes , but I can also get it to do it if I apply the brakes , anyone have any ideas what this could be? My pads have plenty of life left it looks like , it's just odd it started right after I installed the lift. I did have to bleed the front two brakes because I ran the master cylinder dry when I took the front lines off, could this have affected my rear brakes somehow ? It must be heat related or something as its dead quiet for the first 15 min or so? My rear e brake isn't hooked back up yet either but I don't see how that could affect anything , I need to get this fixed its embarrassing to drive to say the least lol. Thank you

Might sound stupid but i've been chasing a squeak like this for awhile turned out its the tail gate. go check your tailgate like while it's up rock it in and out see if it squeaks

haha I wish it was that simple but my tail gate isn't even on at the moment ! it's getting repainted

Check every bolt that holds your leaf springs together because there might be something loose causing your springs to squeak

Not may options for the rear suspension.

1)Leaf spring bushings front and rear
2)Shock
3)As stated, bolts holding the leaf spring together

Thats pretty much it for suspension travel in the rear.

Oh !!!! I had a squeak in the rear and it was the top bolt that holds the shock. 1/4 turn and squeak was gone so check that also

Thanks for the responses guys , but I don't believe its a suspension sqeak but more of something that is turning sqeak as the sqeak sqeak gets faster or slower as you speed up or slow down , im gona hve a buddy drive it and il walk along side and see if we can pinpoint where it's coming from , it sucks because she looks so good now but it sounds like a pos going down the road !
