    i have a squeak that comes and goes as well, dakar leaf pack with their extra add a leaf


    with the bed fully loaded its usually silent, unloaded its hit or miss I can go weeks silent unloaded but then can go weeks with a squeak and an unloaded bed

    It also seems like when the seasons change, different squeaks come and go

    I got the Icons to save bucks over the Deavers. Hahaha!

    I wanted an AAL and a few folks said that it wouldn't rehab my shot stockers.

    I just did this exact same thing yesterday with the WD-40 White Lithium Grease can with applicator straw in between all leaf contact points and the squeak is 90% gone.
    I’ll jack it up with the high lift on the rock slider later today and really get in-between all of the leafs.
    Way easier than disassembling the entire leaf pack just to grease it up.

    Don’t forget the upper control arm joins and unit ball, that’s a big point of sweekyness for me.

    Yea I've tried this multiple times now and it still squeaks. The best thing that's helped so far is the sound deadening I've added to the cab of the truck. Unless my windows are down it's hard to hear the squeaks now.
