Squeaking noise after JLUR lift install
I had the Mopar 2” lift installed recently and noticed a squeaking noise shortly after coming from what sounds like rear passenger side. Became noticeably louder after the Battlegrounds. I’m heading to the shop next week to have some other work done and will have it checked out. Thought I’d ask the group if anyone had any ideas as to what this might sound like. Here is a clip (not the greatest)

What shocks? If they have poly bushings they squeak like mad. If it is that tri flow works good.

These came with the Fox monotube shocks.MDSRACING398 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 18, 2020 8:06 pm What shocks? If they have poly bushings they squeak like mad. If it is that tri flow works good.

Sounds more like a rattle. Loose shock bolt?

Re: Squeaking noise after JLUR lift install
Thanks guys. Video isn’t the best. It def has a rattle and a bit of squeak in there. I’ll give it a once over on all the bolts and see what happens. Stay tuned!

Speaking of hangars, Carols jeep was making a similar noise after messing with the exhaust and it was the hangar rubbing in the frame. Jiggle the tailpipe and see if it does it

Re: Squeaking noise after JLUR lift install
Check your upper and lower control arm mounts. I am going to guess you landed on a rock and the control arm mount bent and is rubbing on the control arm.
They make skids for the lower end of the control arms, but I have not found one that would protect the upper control arm.
My jeep is making a similar squeak and I can see the driver side mount is folded into the control arm. I am going to try to beat it back with a sledge and drift punch.

Re: Squeaking noise after JLUR lift install
Found the problem!!
Looks like the hangers on both the rear driver and passenger side were never screwed back in after the lift was installed. One side the screw was missing completely and the other was half screwed in, but the hanger wasn’t even attached. Zip them back in and both the rattle and the squeak are gone.
