Default Squeaking Noise???

I've noticed a squeaking noise of the bed of my truck when I go over little bumps or potholes.....Can anybody help me and tell me what it might be and what I can do to fix it.

This may sound odd but make sure your spare tire is cranked all the way up to the bed of your truck.

Shock bushings, leaf packs, rubber bushings where the leaf springs attach to the frame. Try spray lube on one spot at a time.

I've had my spare come loose a few times, the first It happened it took a few days to figure it out.

I've check my spare and it's cranked all the way up so I guess some time i'll spray some lube on everything to see if that fixes it.

I soak the entirety of my undercarriage in wd40 ever oil change, it still looks brand new under there.
