My DJM have two sets of holes. About 1 inch apart. To use the lower holes you have to trim out the radius in the leaf spring clearance area on the shackel so it doesn't hit the round end of the leaf spring.

I have DJM's and they squeaked when I first put them on. I think I loosed the nuts a little and sprayed the bolts down with some CRC silicone. Any time you go from rubber bushings to polyurethane like is on the DJM you are gonna experience a little squeak. Every poly bushing I've ever seen squeaks a little.

The squeaking is coming from the binders on the front and back of the springs. I f they're wet, no noise; dry sounds like ****. Is there anyway to get grease in there?

Finally had time to fix it! Had to put a pry bar between the springs until the plastic seperator was loose and then greased the living **** out of them.
