Creaking and squeaking...
So, don't know if this is normal or not, but after lifting the rig, I'm experiencing a whole lot of these types of sounds from the leafs or the springs or whatever, whenever I start, stop, or turn. Is there an easy way to silence the noise? I've tried all sorts of lubricants on the leafs and springs, but I only get (at best) a week of muted noises. (lol) While it's only an inconvenience, it sure would be nice to have the rig be quiet again. Thanx.

I off road quite a bit also, and yes in time they may make some noise. But I haven't experienced any excessive noise while driving on the pavement and the OP stated that he just installed the lift so I do not think he has had time to off road it. A quality and properly installed lift should not constantly creak and clunk at every stop, turn or bump.
