Could it also be bushings? Maybe some graphite lube would help? I've heard sway bar bushings can squeak, along with end links--maybe...

My creaking is not a bushing that's more of a squeak this sounds like metal joints under high stress.
I use a dry lube on those every few months usually keep them quiet. Although by the beach is probably worse.
Sounds ready for a good time

I don't like to over lube gets all over the chassis/sheets
Also everyone is supposed to further convince me to get coilovers not point me towards cheap easy possibilities like lubing things.
Sounds like you need coilovers.

Ball joint is clunking pretty bad now, coilovers are ordered and should be here soon. Looking at doing UCAs obviously but I suppose I should go ahead and do LCAs as well since they likely have over 250k on them and it would be kinda dumb not to replace them while I'm in there.
Problem is I see so many mixed reviews on Moog and Delco parts being sent as knock offs or quality control being shit.
If you were to buy all 4 where would you get them from and what part numbers or manufacture would you use?
This is the best I've come up with.

Went ahead and bit the bullet from Rock Auto hopefully everything is true Moog parts and fits as it should. I'm excited to feel a 260k mile POS with all the steering and suspension replaced. More so looking forward to not hearing it.
Not sure what's coming first this stuff and the coilovers from atomic or the suspension overhaul I have coming for my tacoma which might be done at the body shop Friday. Either way I have 2 full front suspension upgrades to do over the 4 days I have off on the holidays should be fun!
