Coils? Front shocks? Rear leafs? All of it? Can’t help without knowing where it’s coming from. If you can post video of it squeaking and where it’s coming from we could give you some things to try.

I’d start by pressure washing all of your suspension. Tends to work on mine I think some dirt and stuff gets stuck inside where you don’t want it Once it dries I use some heavy duty silicone spray because it’s clear and dries so stuff doesn’t stick to it. Any lube will work tho make sure to spray the leaf springs well
 
I also sprayed the rear leaf areas and didn't do anything. BUT, after driving it more it sounds like it's coming from the front and not the rear. Going to spray WD40 on the front sway bar bushes and see if that helps.
 
Went under the front end and tightened all the nuts/bolts to spec. Sprayed the sway bar bushes with WD40. Still squeaking and seems to be getting worse each day I drive it. Think it's time to take it to a local off-road shop to check it out. Really embarrassing to drive around with the squeaking. I have the Toytec Boss kit and emailed them to see if they have any info but NO response from them. Guess once they sell something they are done.
 
Sway bar bushings need grease.

The only thing I can think of is the control arm bushings. There's no grease fittings for them though.
 
I'll go with it needing new pads in the leaf springs. After doing this, my '05 stopped.

Edit: just saw the other replies, disregard.
 
Hoping the sway bar bushes are rubber and not poly. If poly they are hard to remove and install. Not sure the type of grease but will make a trip to Napa and see what they have. Drives me crazy with all the squeaking. Seems to get worse the more they warm up. With only about 18K miles on the truck they shouldn't be squeaking like that.

Keep us in the loop! Good learning experience for those of us that haven't (yet) experienced it.
