There is a rubber bushing inbetween the leafs to keep them from squeking. After awhile they break down and they need to be replaced. Mine is doing the same thing. Check your u-bolts too.

Turns out it was the shocks, got a pair of OEM shocks on ebay for an amazing deal and out them on myself.....with parts and labor savings from going to a dealer probably saved like 500-800
