Default Annoying squeeking noise

I put on Rancho quicklift and the adjustable rs9000xl shocks after I noticed the annoying sqeeking noise figuring it was my OEM shocks I tried WD40 on all the control arms, leaf springs, the shocks themselves....Im baffled right now and its pretty loud when the windows are down...just owndering if anyone out there experienced this before

Thanks,
Ray

I'd wd40 the shackles and shock ends a little at a time to find which one is squeaking.

Quite possibly a wheel bearing as well. I spent an entire day trying to track down where my squeak was coming from, and it ended up being a wheel bearing.

Yeah my shackles will make a noise sometimes. I just am not looking forward to taking them loose and pulling the leaf down so I can grease the pin and hole
