Leaf Springs

[jutgin]

Has anyone heard of teflon strips to put in between your leaf springs?

Yes, some are squares at each leaf end to prevent spring clatter and the strips are used for squeaky springs as they say but just about 95% of the squeaks are from the rubber bushings in the leaf spring ends.

Do these both come from the dealer? Have a part number?

Here's what I went to when after I replaced the stock silencers too many times:

So far, so good. I tow a 12k+ 5th wheel and the leaf springs have sheared the silencers off a number of times. These very tough little donuts take a little bit to roll onto the ends of the leaves but once there they have stayed put. They have held up through a full Spring and Summer of towing and get the job done. They don't appear to be damaged in any way from all the pressure placed on them either. The icing on the cake is their very reasonable price.
