They probably did not grease up the ends of the torsion bars when they reinstalled them. Spray some WD40 or something like that into each end of the torsion bar and see if the creaking goes away for a bit. If it does, then you'll need to remove them and grease them with some thick grease to make it more permanent.

did you install the lift yourself? if you did, go back and make sure that all the bolts and nuts in the suspension are tight. if you had a place install the lift, take it back and see what they say about it. good luck!

Question Creaking after RCD lift...normal?

I've got an Expi w/ an RCD lift and have noticed some creaking in the body/ susp. Happens whenever there's a weight shift. Is this normal?

thanks,
ronb
