Squeaky Roush leaf springs?

Has anyone else with the squeaky rear leafs found a fix? It's slowly getting worse on my '04 now.

Where? between the leafs (which would require taking them off and apart to get full coverage) the mounting points front/rear? I used a ton of grease during the install, didn;t think it would be that.



thanks for any input guys!

Just a suggestion, on my 04, I thought is was the springs making the noise, it was driving me nut.
Found out is was the driver seat, sprayed a little lube and no more noise.
It was such a low audiable squeak it sounded like it was coming from the rear of the truck.

Just a tip.

thanks, but it's outside. I can bounce the rear of the truck up and down and re-create the sounds I hear while driving.

I just stick the little tube in there and spray a bit
on the end of each spring, and again on the rear
shackle bolts ...

I heard mine again this morning, so it's about time ....
