REAR SUSPENSION PROBLEM?
HAVE A REAR SUSPENSION SQUEAK POSSIBLY FOR THE SHOCKS AND OR THE BED MOUNTS. IT SQUEAKS WHEN EVER THE REAR SUSPENSION IS MOVED, YOU GO OVER BUMPS, ETC. ANYONE ELSE HAVE SIMULAR PROBLEM?

I identified a squeak in the front at the shocks top mount bushings. Maybe the rears can do the same after some wear and tear.
But I suggest you to check the tailgate bushings and the leaf springs. I have been there silencing the truck. Good luck.

JMTruck is right. Be sure to check the tailgate and spare tire. Of course, you'll want to make sure all the suspension bolts/nuts are tight.

I wish you good luck finding the cure. I hate those noises and when you find one ( like when you are close to 50K miles) another takes charges in the next days or so. Just to keep us busy searching.
