Spring Thing FAQ
What does Spring Thing fix?
Spring Thing is designed to reduce or eliminate the clunking, banging, squeaking, tapping, and popping noises that come from the rear leaf springs on many trucks. These noises happen when the leaf springs compress and rebound, especially during acceleration, braking, or hitting bumps. Spring Thing adds a durable cushion that absorbs this movement and greatly reduces the noise.
Will Spring Thing fit my truck?
Spring Thing fits any truck with rear leaf springs that are 2.5 inches wide or wider. This includes most modern half-ton and three-quarter-ton trucks from the 1990s to today.
Compatible with most models of:
- Chevrolet Silverado / GMC Sierra (1500/2500/3500)
- Chevy Colorado / GMC Canyon
- Ford F-150, F-250, F-350
- Ram 1500 / 2500 / 3500
- Toyota Tacoma (all years)
- Toyota Tundra (all years)
- Nissan Frontier
- Nissan Titan
If your truck has leaf springs that are at least 2.5" wide, Spring Thing is very likely to fit.
How many kits do I need for one truck?
Just one kit per truck. A single kit includes everything needed for a complete install on both sides of the rear leaf springs.
Is Spring Thing DIY-friendly?
Yes! Spring Thing is designed for easy, do-it-yourself installation. You do not need to remove the leaf pack. Anyone with basic tools can install it.
What tools do I need?
Youβll need a few basic items for a safe and simple installation:
- Jack (to slightly lift the rear end for clearance)
- Jack stand (for safety β never rely on a jack alone)
- Flathead screwdriver or pry bar (to gently open leaf spring gaps if needed)
- Work gloves (recommended)
No specialty suspension tools or lifts are required.
How long does installation take?
Most customers install Spring Thing in 10β20 minutes. First-timers may take slightly longer, but the process is very beginner-friendly.
Will Spring Thing affect towing or hauling?
No. Spring Thing does not interfere with towing, payload capacity, or suspension geometry. It simply adds cushioning between the leaf springs.
Will this affect my truckβs warranty?
No. Spring Thing does not replace or modify factory components. It will not void your warranty.
How long does Spring Thing last?
Spring Thing is made from a durable, automotive-grade rubber designed to withstand heat, cold, moisture, and road debris. Lifespan varies based on truck weight, driving style, climate, and spring condition.
Some customers get very long life out of their kits, while others experience shorter life due to harsher use conditions. Because every truck and environment is different, lifespan cannot be guaranteed.
Does Spring Thing stop the noise completely?
Most customers report a significant reduction in clunks, squeaks, or banging β often 90β100%. In many cases, the noise disappears completely. Results depend on overall suspension condition.
How fast do you ship?
All orders ship via USPS Priority Mail. Delivery is usually 2β3 days anywhere in the U.S.
Most orders ship the same day or the next business day after being placed.
Where do you ship from?
All Spring Thing orders ship from the USA.

Amazing!! Had the axle βclunkβ in my brand new 2024 Silverado LTZ. Followed the TSB of re-torquing the U Bolts. Clunk was still there. I found SpringThings by a google search and gave it a shot versus replacing the OEM plastic pads. After I put in the Springthings, which were incredibly easy to install and fit perfectly, the noise went away!!! 10/10 thank you for the practical, creative, and affordable solution to a very common problem!!!
Hi Byron,
Thank you so much for the 5-star review! I'm really glad the Spring-Things kit solved that annoying clunk on your new 2024 Silverado β especially after the TSB didn't fix it.
Happy to hear the install was easy and the noise is completely gone. Reviews like yours make my day!
If you ever need anything else (another kit, questions, etc.), just reach out.
Thanks again!
1999 Toyota Tacoma RWD, got instant improvement and satisfaction from the purchase.
Amazing!
Thank you so much for the 5-star review! I'm happy to hear Spring-Things fixed the issues you were having with your Tacoma.
Thanks again for the review!
Easy installation, seem that product is working as it has reduced the noise
Thanks so much for the review and for trying the Spring-Things Universal Kit! I'm glad the install was easy and it's reducing the noise for you. Since you still have some noise you might want to check your leaf spring shackles, sometimes those can make a similar squeaky sound. Thanks again and let me know if you have any questions or need help with anything.
These things are great!! The clunking in the rear of my truck has been driving me nuts for years. This eliminated it. Easy to install with minimal tools. Fast shipping to my location and great communication.
Worked great stopped the squeeking on my 2022 colorado super simple and easy
Zac, thatβs awesome to hear! Glad it stopped the squeaking on your Colorado and that the install was quick and easy. Thanks for taking the time to leave a review β it means a lot!
