When the bolt was torqued tight, the misalignment spacer could still wiggle around and make noise.
I found a 1/32 spacer washer at Home Depot of all places (after looking everywhere) that solved the problem completely for $0.75. It goes on the post, and then the shock, and then the retaining bolt. It’s worth checking out if that’s where your noise is coming from.

Thanks pal. I thought I found the issue because my Kings were making my skid rub the radiator brackets. Replaced the TRD skid plate with the OEM and added a new spacer. No more rub but the squeak is still present and is definitely coming from the rear. I need to remove the rear Kings and find my problem.
