all 4 of them, front and back.

If i rock the front bumper/rear bumper, you get the point.

The springs are REALLY creaky/squeaky whatever you wanna call it. They are the Rock Krawler stock mod springs, (2.5") supported by bilstein 5100 shocks.

They are all perched correctly I just don't understand. They are 4000 miles old. Is this normal? Should I call Rock Krawler about this?

I still cannot figure out what makes the REALLY loud snapping noise every so often when I hit the brakes hard.
Welcome to my world. I have a creaking I can't figure out for the life of me as well as a pop and bang.

Did your front track bar use a bracket or factory bracket? It could be the bracket, if aftermarket could be slightly loose or a little walled out a little cause the squeak.

rear used a bracket, front used adjustable trackbar.

It seems pretty damn tight in there...

The front and rear squeeks at all 4 tires.
