    I'm hearing alot of squeaking from the rear of my Jeep since I added the F-150 load levelers. Any ideas or thoughts to minimize this noise or am I just stuck with it?

    Also, where are th ebest places and pricing to purchase the OME extended fron struts for the 2" lift?

    Suspension options

    Ok, this is for you running the F 150 shocks. Although I did not buy anything (other financial priorities now) I was set on getting OME HD springs all around, OME shocks front and MLL F 150 shocks in the back. I do not wheel per se (not saying that I never will since it looks like fun, just not going to pose as something I am not), but I wanted to make my WK more capable offroad for more of an overlanding/off the beaten path travel role. I also have a motorcycle carrier for the hitch, so I thought the F 150 shocks would work well for any sag from the bike's weight. Now, if they are not going to last, am I be better off getting OME shocks for the back and something like an Air Lift suspension for the extra weight when carrying the bike?

    The MLL are great shocks, especially if you're not going to wheel it. You'll be more than happy with them towing a trailer. Matt and Sal beat theirs up on trails and the shacks are still holding strong just not very pretty anymore.

    From what I can tell this is happening at full articulation. So unless your stuffing your tires a lot like we do I thin you'll be ok. Also the on road performance we get with an especially with loads is pretty good. I run without a rear sway bar all the time and don't miss it even with a heavy loaf.

    My MLL are rubbing and squeaking during daily driving. I checked today and both springs are rubbing on the black boot. Doesn't seem like they are mounted straight. Any ideas?

    I will not by any stretch of the imagination. I just wanted to make sure I do not get something that will need to constantly get adjusted/fixed and might not perform as expected. If it is going to squeak and rub, it might not be for me. But then again, it might either be a problem particular to the WK or an installation issue. Thanks
