Default Squeaking rear spring eye bushings

I recently installed a 3in OME suspension. After less than a 1000 miles the spring eye bushings squeak loudly. I checked the torque and retorqued. I lubed them. This worked for a couple of days. Any Ideas. Thanks

did u torque the bolts with the weight of the vehicle on the springs (on the ground)??? if not , premeture bushing failure will take its toll . try retorquing, they do sometimes come loose-ish . just my two cents
