Default Squeeky Squeek but...

So, my truck seems to squeek and creak while turning and when the suspension is traveling (out/in driveway, speedbumps, turning) but not all the time.

Thoughts?

My truck used to do the same thing. I came to the conclusion that it was just the suspension moving which moves the engine crossmember that it's connected to which twists the frame causing a creaking and popping sound. It hasn't made the sound since I switched to a solid axle where there's nothing on the crossmember.

I was under there looking for zerks so I can grease it up but I will have to put it up on the stands and take a better look.

There aren't zerks for the frame... The only thing under there that needs grease are the tie rods and they aren't going to make that noise. Every OBS truck with the TTB/TIB that I've seen has made the sound.

Could it be your springs rubbing on their mounts ? Or your sway bar brackets/bushings ?
Try spraying the spring seats (especially the top ones ) with something that will lube it a bit and see if the noise quiets down or goes away. If you do one thing at a time, it might help narrow it down.
