When i let my truck roll back and then lightly tap the breaks the fron suspension groans for a lack of a better word. DOes anybody know if this is a problem?

Thanx

I was getting a "squeeking" or rubbing sound over driveway entrances, etc. and I traced it down to the cab anchor straps. Spray them with a little white lithium grease under the cab where they bolt up and see what happens. Mine hasn't squeeked since.

I see you also have nerf bars. A lot of guys that have them have to keep torquing the mounting hardware to eliminate squeeking.

This is normal. It's the torsion bars adjusting in their rubber grommets as the chassis flexes.

Sounds to me like the truck is just getting comfortable. Meaning it's just gettting broke it to how you use it and the loads or the lack their of that it carries. These will go away in the future. the truck may also make popping noises from the frame and that is just the heating and cooling of the mechanical assembly and it will go away after awhile. Later
