Default Squeek after lift install

Installed a Rubicon Express 2"BB couple of months ago. I noticed a squeek coming from the left rear of the Jeep when going over bumps. Checked all of the bolts, everything appears to be good. Any ideas where it might be coming from?

I know you said you checked all the bolts.. but I had the exact same problem... it was my bolts loose for the sway bar.

With a BB you dont have to take too much off, and your not putting much new on... so it shouldnt take too much time to find. I had a buddy of mine stand in the door and bounce the jeep till I found exactly where the noise was coming from.

Lube it up! If the lift you ordered doesnt have zerk fittings its worth the ten bucks to pick some up at auto zone. make for super easy greasing

Default Thanks

Thanks for the replies. I figured it was probably the bushings. I'll get my wife to jump on the back to see if I can narrow down the source.
