Could be a squeeky bushing. Try laying next to the truck while someone bounces it up and down to see where it is coming from.

My guess would be its a bushing on the rear leaves mine mabe the same noise and a bushing swap cured it.

My truck had a squeak every time I came to a stop. I tried spraying the springs and bushings and nothing helped. I brought it in to the dealer and they replaced the upper and lower ball joints. And with only 7700 miles!. Now that its out of warranty, I use a needle and grease all the fittings. But for the future I purchased a ball joint press. I know I'll need it someday.
