    Bilstein 5100's on all four corners. Front set @ 0 with OME 883x coils. Alcon leaf springs. Viper Alarm. Wet Okole seat covers. WeatherTech Floor liners front and back. Oem Toyota chrome exhaust tip. ARE Shell. America Outlaw Wheels.
    Had my new alcon leaf springs installed. They came with the red polyerathane Bushings installed. I can see that they greaced them very well when installed the bushings into the leafs . Now that they are in the truck at flex I can hear the bushings squeaking in where they Mont to the truck. So my question is will they work them self in and quiet down or am I going to have to grease them between the bushing and the spring satel ? Any one ever have this issue and what was your experience?

    I have installed poly bushings on other cars and yes they do require a lot of lubrication. The poly bushings should outlast rubber by quite a bit but like I said will definitely need to be heavily greased.

    Yeah that's what I am hearing . I was hoping that it would break in and quiet down . I really didn't what to have to take it all apart to get lub in there . Thanks for your reply !
