Been offroading a lot and have cleaned it after everytime but suspension had been very squeaky along with the steering. I'm not sure if its serious or just something that I can do. I'm new to offroading that's why I'm asking.

01Expy, this is what I will recommend to you. Crawl under the rear of the truck as someone bounces on the rear bumper some. Listen to where the squeak is coming from. I am placing money that it is coming from the cup at the top of the rear coils. I get this squeak periodically after I go out 4x4ing. To fix, you will need to undo the lower bolts for both rear shocks. Now, lift the truck by the frame (not the axle) to unload the rear coils. Using a long prybar, push the coil back to the center of the cup. Lower the truck down and re-attach your shocks. All done.
are you sure about that? unless you actually got down there and heard it from the front then assume it could be either. the suggestion he made is a good one, because they do squeak. maybe its your ball joints, check those, swaybar links, pitman arm, any bushings, check all
