Super Duty Suspension

I have a 2001 F250 Super Duty Crew Cab 4x4, 7.3L. A while back my suspension (mainly front) started really creaking on any bump, curb, whatever. I just assumed that new shocks were in order, so thats what I did. It stopped for a while, but now its sqeeky as ever. I put on Sears shocks(?) I've always had good luck with them before. What other problem could be causing this noise? Just want to know what it'll set me back...and what the heck it is!!

Check all your grease fittings under there. I think there are 7 or so. Also, check all your bushings for wear and pull them off and apply a little grease to them. That would be the most likely cause. Other than that you may, if you are so inclined, pull the leaf springs off, take them apart, and apply some surf board wax to them. That should take care of any squeeking issues.
