Default Question on lift install....

I installed a TF 2.5" coil spring lift kit about a month ago myself and love it. However there is some slight creaking noises I can hear now but can't quite pinpoint where it is coming from. I think I am hearing it most when going over slightly bumpy terrain. I don't hear it so much when going over larger obstacles like speed bumps or large dips.

Does anyone know or could anyone direct me what I should check or if this is normal after installing a lift? Any help at all is much appreciated.

Either yur control arms are starting to bind some, possibly from not loosening them before the lift and then tightening after. To resolve, sit your jeep on level ground, loosen all of your control arm bolts, bounce it around some, and tighten back down.

or

Your trackbars needs greasing and/or is binding. Repeat same type of process and add grease.
