    There's probably a better thread for this question, but since everyone watching this thread is either actively engaged in mods and maintenance or is interested in learning, here goes:

    I have a 2013 DCSB with a 3"/2" lift/level kit. I've been getting some serious squeak from the back end, and maybe the front end. I've pressure washed and applied copious amounts of graphite dry lube in the leaf springs, but still getting the squeak. Still need to address the front end.
    WHERE THE F*%$!! DO I APPLY GREASE TO STOP THE DAMN SQUEAKING?!
    Thanks!

    Have you tried lubing the rubber bushings?

    Not yet, but I'm really hoping it's not the bushings. It's got 36k miles. I really hope the bushing aren't going already.

    Thank you!!

    It's one piece with two mortises, the circular hole is simple (forstner bit), the other hole is equally simple, just a smaller bit to waste away most of the material, and a chisel to clean it up till it fit
