Default Aftermarket control arm squeek and leafs

I put a rough country 4.5 inch full spring pack lift on my 2000 cherokee sport like four months ago and the control arms and leafs have squeeked ever since. Any time you put it into gear slow down or putting pressure on them they make noise. The control arms and leafs are all new that came with the lift. If anyones got any suggestions on a remedy let me know Ive tried it all.

I go the 6.5 from them and the guy that was helping put it in bolt a bolt in the opposite way on the sway bars and it actually was rubbing against the track bar mount and made a annouying squeek just turned it around and mine has been fine ever since hope that helps.
