Default lca relocation squeak

I just installed a set of LCA relocation brackets (Founder's). The car is lowered - Strano's. They seem to be doing the job well; I got back lost traction. However, there is considerable squeaking from the rear suspension now. I know that everything is tight. Is this something inherent to having lca relocation brackets?

Stock LCAs? rubber bushings? If its rubber i highly recommend torquing them while the suspension is loaded. If poly try putting anti-seize on the sides of the bushings, gotta take them off to do it.

I have relocation brackets and picked up no squeaking,
but I've also greased up every bit of rubber in the rear
suspension. Maybe your relocation just made it so you
have dry rubber hitting steel, where it used to be more
worn or lubed.
