Squeaky Rear End Unsolved?!

My end somewhere in the leaf springs was squeaking for a while, so I went ahead and dropped my rear end and replaced all the leaf spring bushings. After doing this the noise continued to push on. Now, after spending a few hours replacing my bushings I'm a little disappointed my truck still squeaks. Does anyone have any clue what my next step should be?

Could it be the whole leaf pack itself?

If so, what are my options?

 

My truck squeaks like a mofo. Can't provide help, but I'll listen to suggestions!

 

Join the bandwagon my friend

 

It's the little rubber strip in between the leafs. Mine did it up until the day I went to OME Dakars

 

Well if I went ahead and did that, how big of a hole am I burning in my wallet?

 

bout 4 hundo? Somewhere in that ballpark

 

Could be the ends of the leaves rubbing against eachother when they flex. Apply some lithium grease and see if that has any effect.

 

^^^i would go this route first. Cause dakars are gonna lift the rear 3" so you'll need front springs as well. You're talking around $1200 at that point

 

I had a really bad squeak after adding my lift. I was snooping through my cabinet and found some gun oil and thought "heck, why not?" I gave the creases between all my leaves a good squirt. That was three weeks ago. No more squeaks! I've been through the carwash once and figured that would undo my efforts but I'm still rolling along with ease.

 

From what i've seen it's almost always the leaf springs, even the whole pack. Even my stock leaf pack with an AAL squeaked after a few trips wheeling, and my truck is a 2015. I have Dakars now and they squeak at every slight little bump, not too loud but just a little annoying. I've only had them for a month sadly.

 

Year later and my Dakars squeak to.

 

Yup.

If you put in poly bushings be sure to keep those greased as well or they will squeak and creak as well
