drop kit squeaks and creaks!

i just got my drop kit installed a few days ago, i just posted a thread about it but i was wondering if anybody else has had a squeak problem that has dropped their truck. its in the back and when i stop it creaks, and then it does when i take off, when im driving i can barely hear it but other wise it is very loud.

any suggestions?

I think that in time, it will stop. Either that or get some lithium grease and go to town on all of the moving parts.

I had this prob for long time. heres what worked for me...

raise truck and loosen the u bolts on the leafs. Drop truck to ground so weight is on them. now tq the u bolts down. Squeeks should be gone. Any other squekking will be due to hard launches and axel wrap twisting. my u bolts kept comming a little loose untill i did this. Good luck!
