I think is for a deformation of the bushing sites on the spring leafs, cause when I move the truck up and down, they moves laterally. Note the bushing sites are open not completely welded.

X Racer, I have 4800 miles and and an insane squeak/creak as well. Were your successful in quieting the springs?

when i fitted the rear shock protection skids"the ones that bolt under the u bolts"i noticed the lower shock mounts touch the skid slightly.do you think this would make noises since the shock mount will rub when the suspension moves.i have some noises since i fitted those so may be i will remove and add a couple washers to get some clearence.

Finally solved it.
First changed nylon pads between leafs by polyurethane ones.
Then opened the bracket that holds the leafs (because there were no clearence and the metal to metal caused noises)
Once a week apply wd40 to those brackets
