Are you sure it's your coilover? Check the torque of the bolts? Are your control arm bushings squeaky? Check everything since the lift is so new. Maybe a bolt is loos on the coilover or other parts and is just making noise. If you must lube anything just remember that WD-40 and the like will eat rubber, try using a silicon lube spray.

WD-40 was never meant as a lubricant in the way it is used. It was developed for water displacement use in the aerospace industry and evaporates to quickly to be used as a lasting lubricant. Because of the solvents it contains as stated it will deteriorate rubber and plastic based products.
I like silicone spray as well, and nothing beats a dab of good old grease, but the spray i find most effective is lithium grease.
