Flexing the suspension

I wanted to compress the front left suspension to check something out, so when I did I figured I might as well take some pics. The tire was off the ground until my dad got out of the truck.

Glad to see im not the only person who likes to flex on random hills and take pictures. These trucks actually flex pretty good considering how stiff the suspension needs to be to handle the great payload these trucks have

I have a bad squeak in my front left suspension so we greased it all up and just wanted to compress it so it would work in and this way seemed fun

After reading and looking I think it's the tie rod due to it makes the noise during steering and hitting bumps. The truck's going in for its 15k matience and this on Tuesday.
