I'll give both a try, the additive and the WD-40.

Never use WD-40 on the jacks. It will eventually destroy the seals. Use dry silicone spray lube (as per Lippert owner's manual) to wipe the shafts with as recommended.

Would you share the torque specs? Did you use a cross pattern or round robin?

MLP, Thanks for the confirmation.

Cat additive

I added the Cat additive and the creak stopped, worked great for me
