Welcome to this forum! I've renamed your thread, and moved it into the stock 95-01 section. Check the rubber bushings.

Could be a few things, I would check your sway bar bushings and a bad ball-joint can cause some squeaking also.

Thanks guys I really appriciate the info and help , ill be sure to check those bushings , one more thing do u think it can be the shock absorber ? I kno replaced with a new 1 , but do think it could have bin a shock defective??

its probably not the shock, mine is doing this too and i replaced my balljoints and it went away. it only does it when the truck gets wet now, i think its a lower control arm or swar bar bushing.
