    My dakars don't squeak after 2yrs. My front end on the other hand, it's a noisy mofo no matter how much I grease or lube them.

    @Wyckedan give mule expedition outfitters in Issaquah a call and see what kinda price they quote you. They're local and can provide you with various options for your application and install too if you're not that mechanically inclined or unfamiliar with Tacoma's.

    When you have excellent customer service like @HeadStrong Off-Road has, it's hard to go elsewhere. Plus it's great to see them in person at local meets too :thumbsup:

    Welcome to TW :wave: Bilstein, OME, Fox, ADS, Icon, and King all make quality 2" lift kits for your truck. It just depends on your budget. I personally recommend Kings or Foxes but I'm biased :D

    Pressure wash and put grease on. Not driving a Tacoma because of squeaky leaf springs.. Probably better off selling it then.

    Nope, no one gets paid for their recommendations. 100% organic. We have just done what we can for forum in terms of customer service and competitive pricing and members share their experience with others. Sometimes we do send out swag, when we can, to member sponsored events just to spread the love but that is it. :D

    The Dakars have been redesigned, and should no longer have the squeaking issues. The old leaf pack had one leaf that didn't have liners causing the squeak. It's a $12 part to take care of the issue.
