took apart rear shocks and put a new dust boot sleeve(originals were hard plastic covers, new ones are rubber and they prevent any dirt from getting inside the shock)

Also disassembled the other rear suspension components, cleaned and greased them(got every spot where things rotate and where parts sit inside one another) NO MORE DAMN SQUEAKS!!!

will clean and grease the front suspension components tomorrow. Biggest problem is right upper control arm rubbing the body where it's mounted. The bushings are a little wider than stock and I didn't put any grease where it sits flush.
