Default squeak driving me crazy

after a wheeling trip i noticed a squeak develop on my 96 cherokee, only squeaks when the jeep is moving, above about 15mph, cant figure out if its from the front or back cause it only makes it when its moving. checked the brakes, they are all clean, all the pulleys seem good, nothing loose. its been doin this for about three weeks now and its driving me insane. bout to head down to obx next week so im tryin to get it fixed in time for the trip. id appreciate any help, thanks

Suspension squeak?
Rear shackle... Try jumping on the rear bumper... it will tell you really quick. Douse the shackle top and bottom with WD40 and jump on the bumper until it stops.

Or do you suspect it to be drive line related?
