    Yea I mean I think I might have botched. I used white lithium grease on the bushing. Maybe it squeezed out.

    Waiting for a second revised spring to match my other revised spring that came paired with a non-revised spring. Anyone want a non-revised spring? Does't sound like ARB wants it back.

    Ok, that's what I was thinking of doing. What isolators are you using?

    When mine speak I pressure wash them, then take a handful of grease to them. Not perment but works to keep the noise down

    They handled everything, I brought them in as is when I received them from ARB. From what I have read in this thread doing it yourself sounds difficult and expensive (burned up drill bits). These guys were able to do the whole job in well under an hour. They specialize in leaf springs and actually bent me a custom add a leaf for my 07 a few years back. So this was something they were very familiar with as they build custom packs and so on. Not everyone has gotten such a good price however.

    Sounds like something like this might be worth just having someone else do. Espescially if they know what they are doing.

    +1 on drilling and isolators. But don't forget to press in poly bushings on both sides with a shit ton of lube. It's all for not otherwise
