    After dealing with the Icon RXT squeaking basically since I first got them, I’m looking to change out and go a different route. I’m really interested in the dobinsons L59-110-R but hate the idea of poly bushings since I see a lot of reviews saying they ride harsh and are noise than rubber.

    What are some good leaf springs that require little maintenance that don’t squeak?

    I'm about to throw some Dobinson packs in. I've heard good things. My old 2016 Taco had ARB medium duty packs and although they seemed to perform very well, they squeaked like crazy!

    It sounds like you might want to look at Deaver, you can have a custom set made to your requirements or buy a Stage I, II, or III.

    I’ve got medium dobinsons leafs for about a year now. Been through some rough terrain quite a few times and zero issues.

    That’s why I went with dobinsons.

    Did you get the grease-able pins? Any harshness or anything from the poly bushings? I’m leaning towards dobinsons but just hesitant with the poly bushings.

    I have no idea man. I’ll check when I grab my truck on Friday.

    To me, they ride just like stock leafs. I do have about 200 pounds of constant weight in the back.

    I would say Deavers are the ones to beat. Yes prices but many here are on a second set after bad experiences.
