Can anyone tell what is making this noise from my truck? Its a regular cab 2013 it happens whenever the suspension "flexes" i captured a video to show and maybe get an answer, shock absorbers are out of the picture because i swapped them out and the racket still persists.

Quick clip pushing down on the tailgate to make the noise coming from the rear differential area.

My guess would be leaf spring and/or Shackle bushings that are giving you the squeak. Sometimes even the leafs rubbing against each other may give you a squeak...but that really sounds like leaf spring/shackle bushings.

Would that mean i need to replace them?

Sounds like a dog barking..hmmm... lol. I would say the shackle/leaf bushings...try spraying them with WD-40 or similar product before replacing them.

My 2013 had that problem, dealer replaced the leaf bushings and squeaking went away.

No, I'm sure they still have plenty of life in them. I would spray some silicone spray or some spray lubrication (PB Blaster/WD-40) and that should solve your problem. There are metal sleeves pressed into the eye of the spring, and the rubber is pressed (or vulcanized) in that sleeve. Sometimes they just start pulling away from each other and your start getting the squeaks. again, I'm sure they still have plenty of life, but can be annoying. If you're still under warranty, definitely take it in & have them replace them.
if not....lube 'em up.

if you have a hitch, jack up truck at receiver till the back tires are barely touching. spray between leaf springs with lubricant. i have heard shocks make a noise also.
