    My new 2012 dbl cab with three inch lift, rear leaf springs sqeek like hell. Sounds like a fourty year old farm truck on the back/dirt roads. Only about 2000 miles now. Just need Lube? What type? Or should it go back to dealer?
    Thanks for any real advice. :confused:

    Was the lift a dealer install/option (or if you bought the truck used from the dealer?) If yes, then I'd take it to them. If you had an outside shop do the install, that's were you should take it. If you installed it yourself, them I would think that it woudl be up to you to correct.

    Was bought from the dealer with a ProComp set up. Set up in stalled by 4Wheel parts. Not to impressed with them so far.

    perhaps just clean the leaf springs? I had this happen on my truck and hit it w/ the pressure washer and it stopped

    Seems to be coming from the rear mount of the leafs as well as the center axle mount.

    Go to your dealer. Ask. I had a lift on my truck, I installed myself. They did the TSB.
