Default Suspension squealing/squeaking

Jus wondering how members are dealing with suspension squealing.

I have run thru my share of mud and water but nothing major deep, cept the one time I buried it to the frame in mud.

I have sprayed some of the parts with silicone, no help and I cannot pinpoint the locations exactly.

I have an OME lift with additional spacers in the front. Only noises are coming from the rear.

Anyway my jeep now squeals terribly going down the road and I was wondering how other members are combating this issue or do you just turn up the radio?

if the squeaking is coming from the rear, i would check the tightness of your shock, sway bar link and track bar bolts. squeaking from any of these components is common if they are a little loose.
