[QUOTE="Guyzer, post: 2025669, member: 66563"] Update on the squeaking noise. I finally got a hold of RPG and they had me come back to their shop to look a their traction bars they installed. They said there was no lube on the bushings when they installed them so they lubed it up and the noise went away for a little while. Well the creaking noise is back after six months and it can be heard from inside the cab. I have not been offroading so the suspension is not getting beat up. The traction bars definitely improve the power delivery, eliminate wheel hop and look really nice, but the squeaking noise is a bummer. Maybe the bushings are low quality or maybe they require servicing every 6 months. Maybe they should be designed with Zerk fittings to lube them. I'm gonna reach out to RPG to see what they can do. I am curious if anyone else has this experience with RPG traction bars or any other brand traction bars. [/QUOTE]
