leaf springs squeaking

I have a 2.7L manual 4x4 single cab and during the spring i usually haul 3 yards of mulch, gravel, sand,(landscaping) haul away junk. so my leaf spring started the squeaky noise and I also noticed that the leaf spring has gotten flat lol. so I want to upgrade to better leaf springs, can anyone recommend me one

 

RXT, Dobinson, Deaver, ...Theres plenty. Search the forums and see what others have to say based on your personal needs for the new set.

 

Were the springs ever replaced by the dealer?

 

Do you know the thread so I can look for it and read thru it

 

I don’t know. I bought this of another dealership not from Toyota

 

Take it in and ask if the leafs were replaced I think there’s a recal

 

Rinse out rocks and dirt, WD40. It's a truck.

 

if there is a recall i could call toyota and ask right?.... also if that would be a recall i read something abbout the sqeaky clutch pedal thats also a recalll

 

just call a dealer give them your vin and ask if theres any open recalls on your truck.

 

If you want to go cheaper and there isn't one in already, and add a leaf might be a good bet. Slip a small amount of grease in and shouldn't squeak and solve the sagging problem.

 

Yeah call or go in

 

this 100% is the first step

 

my leafs are straight so i need to change them especially since i do load a trailer and pull with it. if i didn't use it to haul i would do it but it needs it in the future the truck is going to thank me

 

i have done that it lasted a week but the leafs springs are straight so it does need chenged

 

l have a 2012 as well, and my leaf springs squeaked pretty bad. l replaced the circular leaf spring bushings that sit between the leaf springs. 4 bushings per side.

Three were worn completely gone, and a two others were worn very thin.

l replaced the bushings, and the squeak is gone.

The replacements are of a different material than what was initially installed on my truck by the factory.

 

Could you let me know what you got for it, I want to haul stuff to just keeping that in mind

 

I bought it at my local Toyota Dealer.
You require 2 kits.


Not the best photo, but this is what the spacers look like. They are about 2 inches across.

 

I used to spray them with WD-40 every week or so. But, l knew that that was only a short term solution.
l changed the bushings about 3 weeks ago, and l haven't heard a peep from them since.

Good luck.

Let us know how it goes.

 

Yeah that’s is for sure what I am going to do but I have to change my leafs springs anyway they are flat lol. I am going to share a photo so you guys see

 

I got the OME leaves when I lifted it. Also put on a set of Timbren bump stops at the same time. The Timbrens help keep it level when loaded
