Will replacement body mounts and body lift squeak?

So I am planning on installing a 1" body lift and replacing my old mounts at the same time. Right now I have a good squeaking going on when I turn left. I'm thinking its the old mounts. So question is, can the new urethane mounts and lift blocks squeak? I hate to go through the effort and find I'm still squeaking!

Shocks and springs and loose body panels squeak but never heard body bushings squeak but not saying they couldn't.

I had heard that back in the day, the urethane suspension bushings could squeak. I think that is a thing of the past now.
But body bushings, never heard of the issue before.
If anything, I have heard of loose body bushings creating a knock over smaller bumps, very similar to bad bushings on an anti-sway bar. According to the story, it took awhile to get that one sorted out.

Do yourself a favor and by the wildhorse body bushing kit with the integrated 1" body lift
Urethane will squeak if it is not lubed in spring shackles so I guess urethane body mounts could also but I think (and one of the vendors could shed light on this) the newer urethane has a lube kinda inpregnated in it to combat this.
