    So the last couple days i've been getting a squeek noise coming off from a take-off on my rear pass side. I have the toytec ultimate lift kit w/ the non tsb aal. My question is that when i got under the car it looks like the leafs on that pass side look like they are shifting apart. I'm guessing this is causing the noise but why are my leafs shifting apart and how urgent is this/what can i do to fix it permenantly....

    pics of pass side...

    Straigten it out, and check the torque on your U bolts.

    I kinda figured but should i use some threadlock on the bolts ? I'd hate to have this be a repetitive thing.

    If the U bolts are torqued to the correct amount, it shouldnt happen. I wouldnt use thread locker on them..

    I gotta check my torque to see if they backed out I know they were set right cuz I watched david set them but mine look they same on both sides. I just thought thats the way they were. I also have the sqeaks.

    Thats def causing it. My guess is the leaf is rubbing on the ubolt during compression.

    I believe the correct torque for the U-Bolts is 75 ft./lb.

    After installing a lift, it is a good idea to recheck the torque on all of the suspension fasteners after 100 miles or so.

    Perfect! :) If they werent check again after 50 or so miles, they could have loosened (if the bolts stretched), causing this to happen.

    Is some shifting considered normal?
