Smoother ride . . . . . .
I don't know if any of you have tried this but . . . .
I've been known to take a pressure washer (or the car wash), and blast the leaf-packs of each axle cleaning them as best one can.
Give them a day or two to dry.
Then jack the truck up so that each leaf-pack is in full droop.
Then flood them with an aerosol, highly solvent, high-tack type of lube. The kind that dries leaving the high-tack type of goo. I guess motorcycle chain, or wire rope lube, . . . . whatever. The point would be to use a lube that can't get washed away easily. The high solvency allows it to get in between the leafs better.
Doing this every once in a while keeps it smooth.
It actually does improve the ride.
