well you may want to check bushings but chances are that it is a result of cutting the springs so you are going to have to live with the squeaking

Don't post them here unless it is tech related.

Why on earth would you cut aftermarket springs, its like ordering a biggie size meal then ordering a diet coke to save calories

not only did you mess up the quality of spring but also the spring rate, metal construction/durability and also proving you're retarted in the process.

Strong work Cleetus

Not to mention you can never properly align your suspension again. Did you ever think to sell your current springs to get lower one? Apparently thinking is not your forte

Jesus Christ, you cut your springs, let alone you cut off 3 coils.

Those springs = now garbage.
