Hey all,
I have had my truck for only two days now and I notice that whenever I go over bumps or any rough road it is very squeaky does anyone know what it could be? I have a 6in fabtech lift on it. Also the ride feels really rough not sure if its bc I have somewhat off road tires or if thats how it should feel but im not sure it just feels quite stiff. And also it feels and sounds like the bed is gonna fall of when im on bumpy roads as well as the squeaking.
Thanks for the help.

 

Mine did this, but was all stock. Did some investigating and narrowed it down to the rear shocks. Replaced them and squeaking stopped

 

I agree with him. Most likely shocks

 

My '96 did this and I found it was not the shocks, but the muffler/tailpipe hangers. I figured it out because even after I stopped in my driveway, the small vibration caused by me turning my engine off was enough to produce some squeaks. I just put a few drops of oil on each hanger, and it stopped.

 

The bushings on the T-bars tend to creak, especially with a lift. Also check to make sure all bolts are tight on the lift.


As far as riding rough, I assume you have mud or trail tires with and e-load rating and helper springs in the rear. That's most likely what you are feeling.
