Default Squeky blazer need help!!!

My blazer is a 96 ls 4x4 and it squeaks like there is no tomorrow. I think it is my leaf springs and just wondering if this is common among blazers or if this is even the correct diagnosis. Please let me know.

I've never heard leaf spring themselves squeaking, I guess if the bushings are bad that may make some noise. I have this problem on my Jimmy but I on mine it's the rear shocks. Mine aren't bad (yet) but they do make some noise. I'd check this first if I were you.

thanks alot i will look into that. i figure that it is just the leaf springs because whenever it starts squeking i jack p my rear end and put grease and wd40 in between the leafs and between the bushings. after i do that the squeking stops so i figured that was the cause.

I have a lower control arm bushing that you can hear two blocks down coming.
