King shock question

so I’ve had the king OEM shocks on my truck for a couple of months now and noticed that before the install of the new shocks and leaf springs my trucks suspension was quiet. Now this bitch squeaks all the time as if it’s an old truck. I’ve torqued everything to spec and everything is brand new. Is this common?

 

Thank you sir. I will try that and post results. And I believe it’s the shocks as I hear it in front and back when the truck articulates on my shit road I live on. Kinda frustrating since I paid over 7 grand to make my truck sound old. Other than that, it performs perfectly. Everything looks good too. It makes this noise even with all the skids off. I had a squeaking engine skid issue first. Bought the rci engine skid to go with their transmission skid I have to solve that issue. Now I just need to give away the stock engine skid or it goes to the dumps and fix the squeaks.

 

I put SPC uppers and Alcan custom springs.

 

Greased the SPCs still got the squeaks.

 

That’s a good one to know. Didn’t think of that at all and will give that a try as well. Thanks again for the advice. I appreciate it. I will do one and drive then try the other and see which is the fix.

 

Forgot to ask if I should use spray moly or the tube grease moly?

 

Cool. Thank you.

 

I saw this too. That’s why I asked. Wanted to go the easy route if possible. I’ll order both types for the hell of it. Add it to all the other chemicals, greases and truck shit over taking my garage. Never thought I needed so much shit to keep my vehicle maintained properly. Never worked on my vehicles in the past besides installing sound systems in them. The tundra and this forum has taught me a lot about how to work on my truck.

 

Me too. After driving it again and listening better, it sounds like the alcans. Everything ordered so it’s a waiting game now.

 

I’d like to weigh in. I recently had a full leaf pack from Icon. The RXT leaf pack. About a month later they started to squeak. I just sprayed the the whole thing down with wd40 and got under the truck and leg pressed the bed up and down to help the lube get in between the leafs. Been fine for about 3 months. I live next to the ocean so that could have been a factor into it sqeaking.

 

What a beast. You leg pressed a truck.

 

Everyday is leg day my friend

 

Hell ya. Thank you Jason. You were spot on with the dry molyqnd leaf springs. Worked like a charm. Now my baby is squeak free. Can’t thank you enough. Shit was driving me crazy.
