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.

Did you lower the truck to the ground and load the suspension before you tightened/torqued all the bolts down? All my lifted trucks never made any suspension noise including my current 2003 F350.

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.
