Exclamation Leaf Spring / Bushing Lubricant ?

What do you guys use other than Lithium grease and WD-40. It sounds like if I have a pig squealing somewhere under.

Mine is squeaking like hell also. I'd like to see what others are using. Bought some white lithium grease this week to work on it this weekend. Had people tell me it's ok for poly bushings.

When i lowered my truck i used this on the leaf springs.

Bel Ray Waterproof Grease 16oz Tub 95000 TB16 | eBay

Its been working great for 2 years so far. Figured i would try it since i use it on the Dirt bike and it holds up so well at the track.

I use liquid wrench "chain lube". On mine. Works great and it is a thicker grease once the carrying agent has lifted off (usually in a few minutes). It's cheap, easy to apply, and works very well at getting in tight areas. I use it on a lot of things. Less messy than applying grease by hand and stays for a long time.

That's actually a great idea especially if the leaf's are still in the truck.
