squeaky rear end

The rear of my 2wd squeaks whenever I go over larger bumps or potholes. I thought maybe it was just the bed but I really have no clue. I got the shocks replaced with Monroe reflex shocks less than a year ago, what could the squeak be from?

Get a can of silicone spray and spray the little black rubber "stopper" that the tailgate closes against. With the tailgate open, it is just to the inside of the tail lights. It worked for me.

If it sounds like suspension...use that same spray and get the rear leaf spring shackles and hangers as well as the sway bar bushings and ends if equipped. You can hit the shock bushing too. A lot of noise can happen if sway bar bushings get dry and dirty.

Spray a little in between the individual leafs on the leaf springs as well.
