Has anyone dealt with a squeak after doing a lift and bigger tires? My guys that did my work say it’s the bad design of the wheel stop by Ford. Just curious if anyone else has dealt with this. I hear it most when backing up and Inhave my wheels turned (but not full) and I go over a small dip, like just the apron of a driveway. It’s annoying and embarrassing.

No squeak here after lift and new wheels/tires. The wheel stop isn't affected by a lift...If you didn't have a squeak before the you shouldn't have one now. Are you sure it's the wheel stop?

What do you have for a lift? Numerous people have reported noisy aftermarket coil overs (squeaking/creaking) across several brands.

My Icons creak. Have since install. It is annoying. I shoot the compressed area of the coil occasionally with some lube and it goes away until it washes off. Reapply.
It's not the control arm bushings either front or rear, not the track bar bushings. Just the coils themselves have some inherent creak.
What lift did you go with @cmbyrd77 ?

EDIT: I see from your posts you went with the BDS setup.

Aftermarket installers always blame the manufacturer. Really. It didn’t do it before the modifications but does it after and it’s Ford’s poor design?????
