    Sorry if anything is misspelled but anyway I have major suspension squeaks! Its kinda gettin embarrassing its so bad. I mean if im anywhere offroad or on gravel/dirt and hit a slight bump or suspension is moving it creeks and squeaks. I cant exactly tell where its comin from but it sounds like both front and back is makin the sound. Its bad enough that I can be at an intersection and start off, hit my brakes, or hit a pothole that bystanders can hear over my exhaust. Its getting worse I think. Any time the truck moves angles it squeaks. Please help this is driving me crazy

    Is it the shackles making all the noise?

    sounds like a balljoint squeak. any change in suspension will cause them to squeal.

    Balljoints are fine. I think its shackle and leaf spring problems to be honest

    have you done the balljoint test to make sure? grab the wheel and check for movement just in case, sounds very similar to a balljoint problem
