Yeah id say your best bet is the shocks. To make em stop sqeekin i would say just use maybe like WD-40 my friend did that to his shocks made em stop sqeekin.

I agree with Ethan. Nothing easier than shooting some WD-40 around the shock. If it is fixed great if not they keep looking. However, I would say this will more than likely fix the problem. I had a similar problem with my and the wd40 did the trick.
Let us know how you make out.

I also agree, take 2 14mm wrenches and pull the bolt out of the bottom of the shock. (leave top bolt in)
pull the shock out of the bracket
there is a bronze bushing in it
push it out
spray it out with cleaner
clean it up
clean both small seals in the shock
grease it up with wheel breaing grease
put it back together
That will last awaile depinding on how much mud you put it through and how worn the bushing is.
