Anyone else have creaky rear leafs? Mine was silent when I picked it up. Few weeks later I picked up a 6' tiller and since then the rear leafs creak like crazy.

yes....

There is a relax and re-torque of the rear axle u-bolts....didnt work for mine

So I lubed between the leafs. I used a small prybar to separate them, then picked one of my go-to weasle-piss spray.

Solved it instantly, but who knows how long it will last.

Brought it to the dealer to which they said there was nothing they could do. It was my fault for having it undercoated and that's what caused it. Total BS. So tonight I took some 1/16" thick rubber, and tucked it between the 2 upper leafs on each end, and just like that, my new truck doesn't sound like its 20 years old. Took all of 10 minutes to do both sides.
