    Yep. I jacked up the truck and let the axle droop out. That took the load off the leaves so they’re easy to separate. Wedged a flat head screw driver in between the leaf to separate it a little and sprayed that in there. Don’t be afraid to be liberal with it

    did you take out the center pin of the leaves as well or just wedged a screwdriver in there while they were all still connected? Sorry i know it seems like a silly question, its more out of curiosity...

    Not a silly question at all. You don’t need to take the center pin out. You mainly just spray the outer part of each leaf, since that’s where all the noise comes from. No need to even remove the tires. Whole thing takes like 10 minutes

    Jack from the rear diff, and go nice and high. Place your jack stands on the frame, below your rear doors. That’ll keep your frame in place and as you lower the jack, the axle will droop down.

    Is that on a Thule rack? I have a ladder rack for hauling my kayak and have thought about using it for a camping platform, but havent really researched yet. I'd only use a weekend or 2 a year so utilizing the rack I already have would be most cost effective

    I’m usually not a fan of headlight mods.... but those look pretty good with the white. Nice work!
