    Hey guys I put a fabtech 6 inch lift on my taco and the rear is on an add a leaf and blocks. The leaf springs are constantly squeaking. I'm currently saving for an upgraded leaf pack but is there anything I can do for the time being to quiet this damn squeak.. Any recommendations on a lubricant. I use lithium grease but it's not working to good. Where I live rains a lot and as soon as it dries up the lithium grease dries as we'll with all the grit on the leafs making squeaks. Tried wd40 which did nothing either. Any suggestions. Thanks.

    Thanks. I'm gonna give it a shot. I plan on changing out to the all pro leaf pack as soon as funding is good to go.. This squeak is driving me crazy. No matter how much I lube it never seems to go away..
