Trip to the spray wash ought to do. I would not lubricate anything other than a grease fitting, and there really ain't none of them under there. You put oil, grease, lube on stuff and it collects dirt, which then creates problems. Good cleaning and that is all I recommend. Check the front axle shaft rubber boots for tears or damage, check for leaks, an address anything you find. Check the manual for lubrication points and see what's up.

Make sure your front lower control arm bolts are tight at the frame. I didn't maintain mine and the bolts actually wore out the hole in the frame and i had to get the holes rewelded. Also check your rear lower control arms at the frame for loose bolts. Those seem to be a problem also on my truck at least but i push the truck pretty hard when i am wheeling it.
