I checked the sway, it's not rubbing. It didn't start making noises until after the lift so I dont think it's the seats.

Have someone sit in the passenger seat and someone bounce the truck while you look and see where the squeak is coming from.

I had my gf sit and shake it and it doesn't make a noise.

I never changed out my track bar brackets to longer ones. Would that make the noise?

I agree with juice box!! My RC squeaked plus my sway bar links were rubbing on the axle... Changed to Pro Comp... No more problems!

That with the title... LOL Only thing I can say is if the rear end is squeaking when some one is riding in the back, get some lube it will quiet her down!

On a serious note best of luck on getting the issue fixed. These things will drive you crazy.

Ok. So I am ordering some skyjacker track bar brackets for 2-4" lift. Would that help with the noise? Possibly fix it? I was going to put these at the rear and the stock rear at the front

Skip brackets all together and just pick up adjustables front and rear, they will last you longer and will allow the perfect alignment of your axles., not matter what lift you stay with.

But honestly I wouldn't be buying anything until you can actually diagnose where the sound is coming from.

Adjustable front and rear track bars? And when I drove home tonight it made the noise without a passenger today. And it sounds like the coil is being hit
