Squeaky Leaf Springs

Get a truck with coil springs in the rear

Are your leaf springs under water when you launch your boat?

Nope. I rarely ever even get the rear tires in the water, and when I have, only 3" deep max.

Story of your life, eh Jeff?

It's so bad now, I hear it creaking when I take off from a stop, and sometimes even when it shifts from 1st to 2nd gear, even under light acceleration.

I think I will try pressure washing them and then I will try the dry graphite lube. My concern there is longevity. I have a hard time believing that will be a long-term solution.

Anybody think the taller rear block is contributing to this? My dealer is cool, I think I will ask them about it. I am due for my semi-annual Auto Butler treatment anyway. I am pretty sure they won't deny working on it due to the leveling kit.

I doubt the block will make any difference. The size of the block should change nothing as far as you actual spring wear is concerned.

You're slipping Jeff. You rarely leave yourself exposed like that.

Length makes no difference, it's all in the girth my friend, it's all in the girth.

As the saying goes: "Doesn't matter how long it is as long as you can blow the sides of a soup can".
