    Hey guys,

    I was wondering if anyone has had an issue with the rear of the truck squeaking a lot? I have a 14' sport. My back springs/shocks/leafs squeak all the time. The job site I work at has a lot of water and clay I think that probably has a lot to do with it.

    It is getting pretty annoying as I can hear it all the time when I drive even if my windows are closed.

    Has anyone experienced this? Anyone has any suggestions on how to fix it? Any recommend lubricant?

    Just addressed the same exact issue. I didnt take any pics, but it's easy enough.

    Drop your rear axle, remove the bolt that holds the pack together, insert something (guys have used chunks of innertube, I used some 2" wide pieces of industrial belting) between the tips of your leaves. Bolt it back together- silence.

    I sprayed in-between my leaves with Fluid Film when I had them apart for my AAL install. They are silent.

    Is taking the springs apart to spay them necessary or can I just wash it the undercarriage and then spay the leafs? I have determined the squeaking is coming from the end of the leaf/from the two bolts that hold the leafs together. The squeaking is happening in both sides.
