I got the same issue with old man emu leaf springs. All that I have done is spay them with Silicone WD40. Nothing, still the same squeak. Have you done an update to this video? I only drive my 2020 TRD Off Road 4x4 on the weekends.
I don’t think those factory ome bushings will work with the gressable bolts. When I ditched the noisy factory springs for rough country 3.5in packs I brought a set a doberson’s gressable pins and bushings. Worked super well but the bushing set is pricy.
Not sure if you figured it out but I have the same issues and in between each leaf there are little yellow pads I jacked the truck up and put some water proof grease where the pads are and it stopped squeaking
I think what causes the squeak are the bushings rubbing on the front mounts. I had this problem just 2 months after my BP-51 and Dakar leaf springs were installed. When I spray silicone grease on the front mount, the squeak goes away for a few days until the spray grease dries up. I also replaced my shackles with OME, got New set of bushing even though the bushings that came with my suspension set were also brand new, and also replaced my bolts with greaseable ones. Nothing worked. I got tired of it so I just installed back my stock leaf springs and just replaced my shackles with those extended ones. This solved my problem because I noticed, the ford ranger stock leaf springs have longer sleeves inside the bushings so the rubber bushing itself doesn't rub on the mount.
I have the identical creaking noise in my Land Cruiser 79. Solved it by spraying WD40 Dry Lube in-between the leaves, especially at the ends where they override each other, and the bushings. This sorted it out! For how long, I don't know!
Your springs should’ve came with poly bushings for the front eyelet and then both eyelets for the shackles. Load the suspension and torque to spec all bolts
Just add rubber shims between leaf springs and there will be no noise at all guaranteed 👍

share your pain brother, my is just in cold weather only
I feel your pain. Same situation here 2015 TRD Off Road 4x4.
Leaf pack…

Check the spare tire, mine was lose and caused the squeak.
I will do that. Thanks
You needed to remove the metal sleeve in the shackle for the new bushings to fit. I had to cut and press mine out.
I have OME rear leaf too mine are also squeaky and annoying too!!
Pressure wash, let them dry. Spray leafs with Maxima Chain Wax. Be sure to use the wax and not the lube.
Best done in warm weather.
Seriously? Got some squeaky springs on my Silverado and also happen to use maxima chain wax on my bike chain. Guess what I'm doing tomorrow.
Going through this now. Did you ever figure out how to fix this?
It went away but every time they get wet they get pretty noisy.
I had the same exact problem and I just solved my problem by replacing the leaf Spring insulators. I drive at 2019 Tacoma with old man emu HD springs.

I got the same problem i want to know how to fix it before i buy a new leaf spring its just my left side
Also....make sure you don't over tighten your shackle and hanger bolts, that can also cause a squeaking noise.
What’s the torque specs shackle and hanger bolt
Update??
Honestly I haven’t really done anything to them and the squeaking has gone away...that is until I do another water crossing.
@@RobZee got it

When you use the ome springs you’re not supposed to use the factory shackle, need to use ome shackles
