Got grease fittings on your various joints? Lube them fellers up, and see if it helps.

Also might spray some variety of lubricant on the various control arm/shock bushings.

mud causes the bushings to dry out, especially when the truck isn't washed in a reasonable amount of time. lube every busing you see, then you'll be set.

Lithium grease is good and I'd do one component at a time so you can narrow down where it is coming from.
