need more details. Bumps, roll, acceleration, braking?? There are lots of bushings, but also brake components, halfshafts, exhaust hangars etc to inspect....

turns out the squeak is from the front.
Sitting still I push up and down on the left and right sides.
The squeak is very prominent
I dropped the sway bar and greased the sway bar rubber mounts to no avail
my next move will be to get grease under the leaf spring ride height bushing
I’m at this time thinking of replacing the end links on the sway bar.

I had the same issue and took the same steps you did - then I checked my engine cradle bolts and the two towards the rear of the cradle were a bit loose.
I torqued them to spec and all is well again!
Good luck!!!!

Thank you for your input. When I change the links I’ll check them also

I replaced the sway bar links today. They were sloppy and the insulators come in 2 different parts #
I bought 10387838, they are to big
the other is 10436127.
I’ll try that next. Until then I wrapped the bar with Teflon tape and will use the old insulators. Hopefully it quiet the squeak for a week or so
