The UCA on the left side is make this noise for the last 2-3 days. I installed the lift and already driven ~10k miles and it just started to squeak.

Is it possible that something became loose or rubber ends on UCA just dried out?

It may just need to be regreased.

You won't know until you inspect it.

The installer didn't trim the factory bolts on top of the tower before bolting the 2" top hat spacer on . . . So the top hat spacer is literally sitting on those 3 bolts . . . It takes no time, and it starts to squeek

Update.

It was bushings on ReadyLift UCA. I ordered the new bushings and after replacing the old ones the squeaking noise disappeared.

What was your noise like? I think I’ve got the same issue, just installed Bilstein 5100s and the Rough Country UCAs a couple months ago and can’t pinpoint my noise.

I have a video I made, but I couldn’t upload it here due to size restrictions. I can email it to you.
