truck creaking noise

[josney]

Hello all....2014 Silverado Lt Shortbed/standard cab and the truck has been lowered with the Rough Country 2/4 drop. Truck has developed awful creaking noises over speed bumps and even at just normal take off from a stop light. Are there any areas I can grease or lube? Any help/ideas would be appreciated. The truck has started to sound like me in the mornings....crackling and creaking but I'm a lot older than the truck.

Start with the rear leaf springs, there are numerous posts on the site about the spacers, bushings, loose u bolts, and many other issues with them. 4", did they use shorter shackles in the rear? Do they have zerk fittings?

I would try to shoot some lubricant into the upper, lower, and sway bar bushings. If it reduces or stops the noise, then you know where to focus your efforts to stop it permanently.
