The creaking might be your tires rubbing.
That's what it sorta sounds like.

Haha no my tires rubbing and creaking are totally different sounds.

If your going down big inclines it might just be because there is so much pressure on different parts of the body of your car than what it is used to or supposed to do.
Therefore it makes creaking noises.

I notice creaking noises when I drive down onto our lawn here, but there is an incline to get down, and that's the reason for that.

Yeah, maybe that's it. My TRD springs were straight up silent. Guess I'm just getting used to these.

Also, I've gotten an alignment and wheels balanced, yet still have a weird vibration between 15 and 25mph.

Are your rear and front coils at the same height respectively?

I dunno..Haha.

You kinda got me.

Maybe you have a bent rim that they didn't tell you about.

I'm driving with a rim that's bent a little bit.
And my car obviously vibrates a little.

But i dunno, man. Haha.
