    I have a 17 sport DCLB.
    275/70/17 KO2s
    On
    Method Con 6 rims

    Billi 5100s all around (maxed for height)
    With 888 coils
    And dakar heavy duty leaf packs
    SPC uca's

    My dakars squeeked so bad you could hear me coming from 2 blocks away on flat pavement. I know ...turn up the radio...no this is ridiculously loud.

    At Dakar = ARB's request i had them greased. It made zero difference.
    Dakar = ARB replaced them.
    Now I have had my second set for about a year.
    They are back being as noisy as my first pair.
    I made several attempts to re contact ARB usa. I never got a reply.
    I found a forum online and guys were pissed off and had the same issue.
    I tried to tag ARB in the posts.
    Shortly after I was contacted through social media by ARB asking me to contact them. I did and they agreed to replace them again.
    They asked where I wanted the new ones shipped to.
    I waited several weeks and then I sent an email asking if my leafs had been sent etc?
    The reply said that they were out of U bolts and were waiting on stock.
    Probably 2 weeks.
    After 2 weeks I emailed back inquiring on the status again.
    No reply.
    After 3 weeks I sent another inquiry.
    Still no reply after several days.

    I just feel like im kinda done with this clown show. ( hard gettin lovin in the rtt atm lol)
    If i just wanted to pull the trigger on some different leafs.......what would give me a similar ride, height etc ?
    Suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Get your free replacement, sell them and then go with some Deavers or Icon RXTs. I went Icon with my King suspension because I liked that you could customize them to your needs. They have 3 different options you can run.

    I used silicone based lube spray and some marine grease. Mine use to squeak very bad, but don't now.
    I also tucked some black yoga mat in the leafs in certain spots with the rear drooped to expand the leafs
