it sounds like the bushings are all shot on my suspension because this thing creaks and groans on a flat road. if im not under heavy power i can hear them inside the cab with the windows up...

it seems like i would have to completely disassemble the suspension and replace all the rubber parts...

i know i need shocks but would they rattle and make all this noise?

sounds like sway bar bushings.

There's also some nylon pads in the front springs that separate the two leafs. Maybe those are missing?

Mine does the same thing. Hopefully going to change to an Edge lift within a couple of months, instead of my worn out, rides like a brick BDS. Mine can make the noise with my sway bar disconnected, and recently replaced spring bushings. I did notice that those spring isolators are starting to move, and that could be giving me the problem, but I'm tired of how rough my BDS rides, so I'm replacing it.

it sounds like its coming from both ends of the truck...

is a new suspension/lift kit the only answer or is there something else i can do?

thanks
