New X code springs and now squeaking

Replaced my old sagging leaf springs with new X code springs. Had an almost impossible time centering the axle even with adjustable center link. Even with it totally maxed out it is just barely centered. Now I have a terrible squeak coming from springs. Is this because of the side loading of springs? Is there any fix for it? Not only do they squeak but the drivers side now sags almost an inch even with brand new springs. 2002 F350. Super annoying and irritating

What kind of adjustable track bar do you have? I installed a zone adjustable on my 2004 f350 and even with 2.5" lift springs I had to cut the bar because it was too long and I couldn't center my axle. I have enough room for a six inches lift easily without a drop bracket
