Lube your balljoints and tierod ends and while you're under there check out all of your rubber suspension bushings for being worn out. A creaking noise is definitely something rubber that is slipping on metal.

Most all auto part stores will have them,or one of the many 4WD web sites will have upgraded bushing sets made out of poly
