    I have a creaking sound going over small bumps that is driving me nuts. (video to come later). I have the Toytec Aluma coilovers so I'm sitting roughly at 4 inches in the front. Could the creaking be caused by not having the spacer dropdown brackets under the sway bar? I had a set installed when I had a Readylift 3/2, but Toytec told me to remove them when I installed my coilover lift. I'm looking for any suggestions on where it could be coming from. Thanks.

    definitely could be sway bar bushings or end links. You are sitting higher, so additional and different areas of stress on both and they are now sitting in a different orientation (they get "set" from years and miles and wear in at the original ride height) . Have you tried spraying them with some lube to see if they quiet down? If it helps, and I think it will, that would indicate you could use new bushings or links. It could also just need some lube in the bushings. Let us know what you find.

    I will definitely try that. I am off for the next week and a half so I will be able to get some truck stuff done....to include installing my train horns.

    Yes I did. It was my rear leaf springs in the driver's side.
