    So I have the squeak/creek noise coming from my driver's side rear leaf springs.

    What's the protocol to try and get rid of it?

    Turn up the stereo?

    No, but seriously, you installed the Dakars, yes?

    Did you get the greasable shackles?

    Weird, my original reply didn't post.

    Yes, I have Dakars.

    Yes, I have the greasable shackles too. We pumped the shackles full of grease as well as applied it to all the other bushings prior to install.

    I read Oz's first post in the link above. Seems exactly like my issue. My first guess is bushing noise, but it could easily be the metal on metal contact of the leafs by the front hanger.

    yeah, if it isn't the shackles, then it is the leafs rubbing on each other.

    They give you a little more lift so it pretty much depends on what height you want your truck at but they are not required to successfully lift your truck. Make sure you get the trim packer though.

    Got the OME 885x's installed. Used the OME 9000 shocks and the stock rear leafs with the TSB rear leaf.

    Sits 100% level. :)

    I didn't use any top plate spacers, only the trim pack and got level that way. If I put in the top plate spacers I'd have some bro-lean going on.

    Your level with no AAL? Seems odd to me, but I'm not saying it's not possible. Brand new my truck hand 1 1/2" to 1 3/4" rack I believe. Seems like you would be nose high with 885's.

    I have the Toyota Rear TSB leaf installed. If I didn't have that I wouldn't be level at all.

    Anyone running rear Bilstein 5125's with Dakar leaf packs around here? Or is it too much lift for those shocks?
