I've had my lift for about 49k. I've noticed a squeak coming from the driver rear shock. In addition there's a bit more bounce than when I first got the life put on. I figured I'd need to replace the procomp rear shocks at least. I'm not sure if I also need to replace the rear ome hd springs? Or should I replace everything at all four corners? (Front is ome struts/hd springs)
Thanks.

Get rid of the Procrap and install some good shocks like Bilstein or OMEs. Also do you have extended rear bumpstops?
Springs should be good yet, unless you have really abused them. That is if you have OMEs all the way around
Wait I see you have the Rockfather lift well at least you have Good springs and shock s up front

My main question was whether I needed to replace the springs at the same time as replacing the rear shocks. And if I replace the rear springs along with the shocks will I need to then replace the front ome struts and springs also? No I do not have bumpstops. I was thinking of upgrading to the ome 132l from all j and I would get the bumpstops then. Thanks.
