    I get some squeaking from the leaf springs (maybe) in my rear suspension. Extremely frustrating...!

    Yes, I just spray some chain lube on my leafs every few weeks or so. But I'm about to buy new leaf packs, so hopefully it won't squeak anymore.

    try pressure washing the leaf pack and see if that helps. If not, you'll probably have to disassemble the pack and grease it up.

    this is of course if the leafs are the problem...

    these trucks will squeek real bad at the leaf springs when you go mudding.

    I bought a $99 pressure washer on Amazon and it works great!!!!use it on a lot of other stuff around the house too. I recommend it.

    I just took mine in for the leaf spring TSB. The person I spoke with wasn't aware of the TSB for the springs, but did mention one regarding the leaf spring bushings being bad and causing squeaks. I noticed that happening the week before when I would drive over a speed bump slowly or even when the rear end would slightly lift when starting from a dead stop. Even happens when stepping on rear bumper.
    They are replacing the bushing pads also when they do the spring packs. Invoice shows SSP for Spring sqeak P/N 04009-09104.
