I'm hoping it goes away after the rear sway is lifted back to stock position. I love rc products and so do all my buds. If it wasn't made right, it wouldn't be sold. And on top of that, they are a huge company.[/QUOTE
Get ALL your buds over and bounce the jeep with some weight in the back and see if you hear anything. Does it squeek when you it a bump?

Just throwing it out there, in case you check everything else, and cannot figure out what's squeaking...and with a budget boost lift, you probably didn't even have to loosen the control arms, but I developed a squeak a while back, that would occur when I let on & off the throttle, hit bumps, etc...etc...(anything that torqued the rear end & rear control arms), and it turned out to be a bad lower control arm bushing. Since yours are still stock, that's very unlikely, though. Basically, just make sure the rear control arms are torqued to 125 ft lbs. if you want to check them, I laid under mine, and began rocking it forwards and backwards with my foot pushing on the tire, and saw the control arm shifting between the mounting tabs.

You should really back off anything that you tightened down. Do this while the jeep is on the ground. Shake the jeep around a bit to get it all settled and then torque everything down.

I loosened a few bolts and lowered it back to the ground let it settle and tightened everything back up on the ground. Still squeaks. Any more clues on what it might be? Would it be the rear track bar?

I don't know what fixed it... But I took it on the trails and maxed out my flex with sways still connected and some reason it doesn't squeak. I'm thinking it just needed breaking in. Thanks for all the help guys
