    My suspension is getting noisier by the day, and I only have 75-80K on the ODO. The leaf springs have been noisy since day1. I used to just shoot the leads with WD40 or Silicone Lube. The front suspension is even more noisy than ever. I was using DriFlow on the front UCAs and am using Teflon Spray lube on LCAs and sway bar bushings. It will be quiet for a week or two and then sound like an old POS when I'm driving sub 35 mph. I am running iShock mid travel coilovers with iShock UCAs for the last 8 years but it got really noisy when I installed the BAMF front bumper as it added a lot of weight to the front. I upgraded the springs to 700lb Springs from Eibach and held off on putting the winch in.

    What are you guys using to lubricate the suspension? Is there one that holds longer? Or are you guys going to town with the grease gun. Just curious.
