Skyjacker softride new springs squeak - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Not many miles at all on these new springs and the drivers rear set are squeaky as a mutha. I sprayed them down with WD to figure out the area where squeak was coming from. I'm wondering if there's a pad or something missing from this particular spring pack? I looked at the others but they all look the same.

were your spring bushings greased up before install?
weird you have squeakyness, my skyjackers have never made noise.
maybe try some teflon spring pads

Are you sure it's the springs themselves?
Typically what makes the noise, is the poly bushings that make the squeaks.

Yes, I greased the bolts and bushings before install.
