    That Squeaky is a smart one. I think this might be part of the solution. Combined with lack of lift from shifty OEM springs as @PS78 said.

    A lot. Check out my build page.
    Likely so. Thus why new leafs are next in my list.

    I don't think the lack of lift is the problem. Full stuff should be the same as an aftermarket pack if setup correctly. Michelin man has plenty of lift given his bastard pack, but his main leaf is still OEM.

    The location of the centering pin is moved back a bit on the aftermarket packs. You can get axle relocation plates for relatively cheap and move the axle back a 1/2" or so to alleviate this issue.

    Or just get aftermarket leafs....

    oh ma gird so nice

    going to have a new mounting system which is s bummer for those who have a slide already, but the new system is more secure

    it's now considered weather proof. stainless exterior with replaceable corners if needed.

    mechanical struts to hold the lid up/in place.

    new interface has a lockable feature where you need a code to open.
