Yea they just started squeking today so I planned on loosening them a bit but for the past few days they havent been squeking so maybe that just means they are settling still. I may get a few of my bigger buddies to get in the bed and jump around a little lol

your guys's shackles seem so much longer than mine, why is this? Is it becuase they are paired with a lowing kit so they don't need to be as short? And txhemi, how the heck is the underside of your truck so clean/ not rust? Are Ohio winters that bad on these?

my underside is pretty clean and we have drop shackles they have flip kits in the rear which include a longer shackle to reach the leafs....both yall may have them to tight thats why they squeak...i removed my o/l a yr ago and im perfectly level...i tow household stuff and and a 4 wheeler trailer with 3 quads on it....i dont have any issues....
