Default leaf spring question

i noticed a squeak on my 04 silverado 1500 and it sounds like the noise is coming from the bushing on my leaf spring pack. should i replace the bushings and see if that cures the problem or what should i do to get rid of this annoying noise? also it sounded like the noise was coming from the leaf spring shackle area. thanks sean

thanks maxxman. i was looking on lmc trucks for the bushing kit and i dont think its those bushings. are there any bushings between the leaf springs themselves? should i just buy a used/new leaf spring pack?
