Has anyone found a solution to squeeky leaf springs? I was told to put the truck on a lift and to apply some white lithium grease between the springs. This is only a temporary fix and I'm looking for something to solve the problem permanately. I know that Tacoma's are known for this defect. Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the reply Adam. I take it that you have used EZ Slide. How long does it last? Did you do any sanding prior to applying EZ Slide? I might have a few more questions regarding this, I hope you don't mind.

No, I've never used it. Never had the need, my springs have never made any noise.
But I did read on 4crawler's page that he used a simmilar product, and I saw the EZ slide on the shelves at Tractor Supply.
If I were to do it, I would dissasemble the leaves, use a grinder and completely remove any paint on the leaves. Good prep will make the paint last longer.

Do you have a link to 4crawler's page stating what product he used on his springs?

I've decided to replace the leaf springs. Any recommendations on aftermarket brands?
