Default rough country 1.25 bl and squeek

So i installed the 1.25 rc bl today and install was super easy. Well now when im going anywhere under 20 mph there is what sounds to be metal on metal squeek on just the passenger side right below the front floor board... i cant figure out what exactly it is..ive rechecked and rerourqed all body mounts to spec and still doing it...it seems more when i gas it a bit also if that helps...any ideas or similar instances?? And this has not been an issue. B4 today i had no squeeking at all.
Thanks in advance for any input

Ill give that a try. But why would adding a body lift just all of a sudden start making this screeching noise if its just dirt? It is dirty under there but has never given me any problems..but im willing to try anything at this point.

you might check the hard lines for the brakes, they pop out of their plastic holders when yo jack the body up, one of them may be rubbing

I had the same thing happen and it about drove me crazy till I figured it out. Take a look at the large washer on the center BL mount bolt and you will notice it is probably touching one of the side bolts. Try spaying WD 40 or some grease on it and then drive it. If noise goes away, you know what the problem is.

I did notice that! And i was wondering if that was where it was coming from. Because the sound is coming from somewhere around that mount. Ill try that and see

Alright so all it was was the front rear mount needing some lube! Thanks for the suggestions! Now is this something that you have to lube every once in a while? Did it ever start squeekinv again after a while?

Mine did the samething, Like to have drove me NUTS! It was the rear mount touching the to small bolts. And I did notice they were not real tight. So check all your bolts not the center the two out side ones.
