Question My springs still creak after 2 1/2 months!

I installed my DFs in the middle of February and noticed the back springs (maybe just the driver side, I can't tell for sure) creaked when I got out of my car. Well I figured they were just settling, and the creaking would go away but it never did. When researching my rear sway bar install I realized that there wasn't torque specs on the shock bolts on the springs DIY and I just tightened them without much thought. I figured maybe I tightened them too tight and it was that joint creaking. Well when I installed my sway bar, I torqued the nuts to the correct spec, but it's still creaking a week or so later. I hate it, it sounds like some old POS. Any one know why it's still creaking or what I can do about it?
