    6" ProComp Stage 1 lift
    Good morning everyone. I am wondering if anyone can help me out. I have a 2013 Tundra Crew that I had since new. I installed a 6" Pro Comp Stage 1 lift with Pro Comp UCA about 5 yrs ago. The UCA's where installed about 3 yrs ago. The set up has been great until recently. About a month ago I started to hear a creaking sound when pulling into the driveway and exiting the driveway. Also I can hear the creak when I turn left and right from a stand still. I just spoke with a Pro Comp tech and he said that he has never heard of anyone using a Pro Comp UCA with a 6" lift. WTF?! He was surprised when I told him that everything was installed at 4wheelParts. The UCA's are mainly installed on 3" kits. He said if its working for me then just leave it alone. Uh, ok. Anyways, when I hear the creaking sound I just want to rip my ears off. Should I take it back to 4WP and have then retorque every bolt on the lift? Do I need new UCA's? I am not sure at this point which direction I should go. Thanks for any help.

    Problem solved. It was my UCA's that needed to be greased. They where screaming like my mother in law now they are quiet. I hope this helps anyone who may have the same problem. It took about two days for the grease to work its way around the bushings. I greased the hell out of them w/ red grease.
