I got my skyjacker AAL from 4WP, they price matched. You don't have to fool with the spring clamps either.

Skyjacker 1.5" AAL. Paid about 130.00 for parts and had dealer install. Have to spray wd40 inbetween front of leaf and stock one every few months cause they creak a little, mostly just the right side. Not a big deal here and I would do the mod again but worth noting.

I put some adhesive rubberized corkboard between mine, no squeak.

I deep creeped mine as well and they still squeaked, that's why I put something inbetween so it wouldn't squeak.

Interesting, I tried teflon grease before i found deep creep. deep creep is the only thing that has stopped the squeek in my case.

I think I let mine go too long before I found it. I have since removed and sold my AS and AAL, when I took them off I noticed where the AAL had been rubbing, there was no way any lube would have kept it from squeaking from the looks of the spring, and I really sprayed the sheot out of it with deep creep. Sticking something inbetween the ssprings like I did made it quit. Hey, now that they're off, no squeaky leafs.

I did an aal in a ranger once and I had a sheet of teflon that I cut and drilled holes in. I installed it between each leaf and worked great.
