My KW's are squeaking so bad! But I learned a trick from a buddy, take your wheels off, get some oily tire shine and spray it on all the moving parts of the suspension, while you are there, spray your liner and make it nice and clean... It worked on my Nissan, I don't see why it wouldn't for the Beast.
