Default Lower control arm squeak after lift please help

I installed a teraflex coil lift and aev control arm drop brackets and after driving a while my driver side lower control has started squeaking a lot. They are the stock control arms so I don't think it's faulty bushings please help me fix this annoying problem!! Thanks!

Hmmm. I'd say take it off and lube the bushings. Reinstall and torque to spec.

^^ x2. Also did you jump up and down on the bumpers and rock the vehicle w/ the control arms loosened before you torqued them down?

Yes I thought I did but maybe not on that side good enough, it's just the driver side too so I'm gonna try loosening then doin all that, any way I have over tightened or its too loose. My torque wrench only goes to 75 foot lbs so idk what 125lbs feels like.

I would definitely go get a new torque wrench. You don't wanna mess up the torque settings on these suspension components.
