She needs lubed!!

Figured the title would catch some eyes, 97 f250 4x4 w/5.4 LD, 3" rancho lift and 35" mudders, the front end squeaks so bad i just hate drivin the damn thing. I've sprayed wd-40, pb blaster, silicone on everything that looks like it would possibly move in the next 10 years and the s.o.b. still sounds like crap, i have true duals and i canstill hear it over them. someone tell me what to replace, look at, lube, something has to give here fellas im on my last tick before i get rid of it

I would suspect the ball joints. The are sealed and can squeek over time. Get them checked!!

Have you tried water proof grease? Like the kind the use in marine applications? That stuff should quiet it down and repel water too.

try repacking your wheel bearings with marine grease and try the shocks if you have them they can get rusty and squeak
