Installed a 1-3in key kit up front and 2in block in the rear and 4 skyjacker 3-4 lift shocks and run 315/70/17 ko2 no rub no weird pulls drives fine expect one thing it has this terrible creak/squeak noise anytime the suspension has any travel. Like going up a hill is enough travel for it to squeak I can pretty much hear it no matter what any thought or help?

Can you pinpoint where the squeak is coming from? Might just need some grease somewhere...

Did you loosen the control arms & sway bar links while you were replacing the torsion bar keys & shocks??

Very possible that bushings are binding.

Have you had the wheel alignment serviced yet?

Squirt some wd40 on bushings then see what happens.... try doing one corner of the vehicle taking it for test rides before moving to the next corner until your able to pin point what side is the culprit or emliminate said bushing altogether

Came to say this! This, what @Chubbs said, is gonna be your issue. Gotta loosen the control arms or you'll put constant stress on the control arm bushings. Gotta loosen them do what you need to lift where you want it to ride and then go back and tighten the control arms.

Don't spray WD40 or any other chemicals on bushings. If the bushings are old & crusty, synthetic grease/lube will buy you a little time but I would def stay away from chemicals.
