Default RCD Squeaking

My 6" RCD lift is squeaking when I stop and when I start off. It sounds like a squeak or a creak. I had the truck re-torqued twice, and the noise goes away. It comes back after a few days though. I just got it aligned and I am wondering what it could be. Do you think that I might have the torsion bars cranked too high? Or maybe just a defect in the kit? Any help is appreciated.

Any urethane bushings in the kit? If so, there is your squeak, just grease em and it'll go away.

I don't think that they changed any of the bushings, but I will ask. I will grease everything up tonight and see if that helps.

Yup, grease the bushings and all will be good.
