Default Bad shocks

Are my shock bad on my 2010 7000k F150 or just cheap. When I turn into my driveway and hit my curb that goes up front the road into my driveway any faster then a slow crawl. My shocks make a lower range squeak load sound like they are being stress out.

Do you think I should just change them for Ranchos or take it in under warranty?

It's normal suspension squeak. My truck does that same thing when doing a full lock turn on an incline.

I bought my 2010 FX4 as a demo with 6300 miles, the first thing I changed were the rear shocks, HUGE difference. When I removed the stock shocks it they were horribly soft (obviously geared towards the people looking for a sedan ride from a pickup). I went to the ProComp MX6 shocks on the rear and adjusted them to my liking. It made a big difference.
