Leaf Spring Bushings
I just got my Superlift lift kit and am installing it this weekend! When I put the bushings and metal sleeves into the ends of the leaf springs, should I apply some type of grease to all these parts or are they made to work dry? The new bushings seem like more of a plastic material as opposed to the OEM rubber bushings. Does the material make a difference for lubricating?

they should be polyurethane, and yes you should apply a little lube to them. Some will actually require it to help with assembly. They will eventually dry out and squeek, but until then they will ride fine with a little dab of grease.
