Default Squeacking after suspension install.

I installed FRPP lowering springs, FRPP shocks, FRPP anti sway bar, BMR lower control arms, BMR adjustable Trac bar, and BMR Lower control arm relocation brackets. Now everytime I go over a speed bump or pull into my driveway I hear the rear end squeak, i've removed the springs and put them back in with no change in sound. Has anyone had this problem, or by chance know how to fix this? Any idea would be helpful.

Lube the bushings and tighten up all bolts at ride height.
Torqued with the wheels hanging will put the OEM bushings
in quite a bind at ride height and cause squeeking when
they rapidly deteriorate from over flexing.
Lube,Lube,Lube evvyting.

I have lubed everything, a little excessive maybe haha. But i will try to retorque the lower control arms when it warms up a little and see if that fixes it.
