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

Well, I wanted the extra lift and to get rid of the rake, so I was planning on getting the F 150 ones and spacers from the front as someone (I think Matt) recommended previously. The small issues are the squeaks and rub? Do you think that is WK related or somehow an installation issue? I remember reading about using tape to hold some part of the shock would get rid of the squeak (correct me if I am wrong).

Yeah Sal and I are a bit extreme with what we put these shocks through. I'll probably throw grease on to quiet them down and be good.
Well were both getting the squeaks on our XK so not sure what the issues are with the wk. the stock ones still raised an XK which is heavier out back then wk so you should get more lift then Matt got with his stock length ones installed. The tape part is probably tapping the rubber sleeve in place but I don't think that will last to long.
That's eexactly what I do to mine but it only happens to my passenger side. I throw a good glob of marine bearing grease on it and it lasts about 6 months.
The tape he's referring to is when I put gorilla glue under the rubber sleeve and then wrapped it with electrical tape to capture the expanding glue.
