My 2018 started squeaking in the rear end months ago and is progressively getting worse. Tough to find the exact location that the squeaking is coming from but definitely leaf springs/shocks, both are stock from the factory. Any suggestions to fix it would be greatly appreciated.

I attached a video of me pushing the rear bumper up and down to get the suspension moving. It sounds awful!!

thanks!

Did you try spraying all the leaf springs with some lubricant?

Dirty leaf springs

I have not tried lubing the leaf springs but I will. I’ve never had squeaky leaf springs on any other truck/jeep that I’ve owned. Apparently it’s a common raptor problem.

Pressure wash the springs first and let dry, best if you can lift from the frame and let them sag a bit, so you can get in there good.

I had a 6" lift leaf spring pack on a 98 and it squeaked, everyone told me to oil it and I had never heard of oiling the leafs..but it worked

I've had Fluid Film on mine for a decade now, plus other areas of the truck.

@Oldfart, this sounds like something right up your alley. So to speak.
