    I hope everyone is having a good week so far.

    Been running an AAL and 1.5 in block in the rear of my 2012 DCLB for about a month now. Every time I go over a bump my leafs sound like two people doing the funny business on an old mattress! It's so squeaky!! Seriously tho, anyone got DIY remedies for this? Grease? WD40? Can of whoop-ass?

    Thanks
    -Kyle

    Invest in a rattle can of fluid film, that stuff will work itself in between the leafs. May have to reapply periodically. Plus it will keep you leafs from rusting.

    Update to this thread: SQUEAKS FIXED!!!!!!!! Saw a Youtube video (forget the gentlemen that posted it) but he said to check the u-shaped braces (unsure exactly what they're called) and make sure they aren't rubbing on one side. I went out to my truck and sure enough, there was one on both sides that were resting against the side of the leaf pack. I used a metal hammer to tap on it so there is clearance from the leaf pack and sure enough, my leafs are quiet as a church mouse now baby!!! I'm lovin it!!!!!!!
