    So after reading many horror stories of the dreaded OME squeaks continuing to return over and over again if they were ever alleviated at all, I took my truck into a spring shop to have a leaf added. I had tried adding the grease to the yellow plastic isolators with very limited success. Anyways, the spring shop replaced all of those yellow isolators with standard plastic black ones and now I'm experiencing blissful silence. I do not expect the squeak to come back.
    Another thing of note, the spring shop said ome did not have any isolators at all between the top leaf and the next one down which I believe is where the majority of the squeaking was coming from. They drilled and added isolators there so that there's one between every leaf now. Anyways just thought I would post that here in case it helps anyone cuz it didn't seem to ever get resolved in any of the threads I stumbled on.
