  1. If you're looking for an easy, versatile solution to haul your 10'4" kayak and 11'2" sup stand up paddle with your Silverado, a hitch-mounted bed extender is a great option, especially if you want something budget-friendly and easy to remove when not in use. These extenders provide excellent support for longer loads and are straightforward to install and uninstall, but they do take up some space behind the truck, which can make tight parking tricky. For a more premium, multi-use setup, roof racks from brands like Thule or Yakima offer a secure way to transport your kayak and SUP without occupying the truck bed, leaving it free for other gear. While roof racks are more expensive and can be a bit challenging to install, they’re excellent for long-term use and keeping your items off the ground. Ladder racks that attach to the bed are another durable option, though they can be less convenient to remove and might add some height to your truck, limiting garage clearance. Ultimately, a hitch-mounted extender is the easiest for quick trips, but if you're frequently hauling your kayak and SUP, a roof or ladder rack might offer the best combination of convenience and functionality.
  2. Because the sound changes when you turn, the wheel hub may be the problem. However, other possibilities need to be checked for a diagnosis to verify. Which will be the squeaking? It might be from the suspension parts: the control arm bushings, the ball joints, or the tie rods, and the most probable thing is the tires of the car. Furthermore, the installation of the lift could put excess weight on specific areas of the vehicle and thus cause unusual wear which could easily be the problem. The one possibility that remains is the deterioration of the wheel bearing, which alleges that it is the cause of the noise that occurs under load. Prudently, the examination of the wheel bearing, suspension as well as the steering components should be the primary focus of the problem. When the noise is heard only when you direct the car to the right, I suggest you check the right side of the truck and look for any faulty parts causing the noise or rubbing. In the event you have doubts, you could have a mechanic check it out so that it may be pinpointed the cause more precisely.
