Default Rattles rattles rattles

Was just curious what everyone has done about the creaks and rattles in their 5.0. I know they are prone to this but anyone have any other advice besides "Make sure to tighten every nut and bolt". But I may be dreaming and live with teh 50 song lol

In the winter I switch from 245 45 17's and 275 40 17 to a set of soft 205 70 15 and 215 70 15's. This makes 90% of my rattles disappear.

Not telling you to switch to a bigger sidewall but the stiff springs and tires is most of the problem with Mustang rattles.
