    Body lift or AAL

    Thanks man, Nice looking truck. You gave me the info I was looking for... What did you pull your 2500 bars from? 2500 HD or LD? 5.7L or something else? Also, are those OE fender flares or aftermarket?

    Front end squeaking after RCX lift install

However, I have an annoying squeak from what seems both the front left and right sides. Just curious if anyone else has experienced this and what was the...
