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?
You’ll need a few basic items for a safe and simple installation:
- Jack (to slightly lift the rear end for clearance)
- Jack stand (for safety — 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 10–20 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 truck’s 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 — often 90–100%. 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 2–3 days anywhere in the U.S.

This product fixed the popping in my springs I highly recommend spring things
Put these on my 2019 Silverado LD, worked perfectly! No more clunking! Highly recommended
Works great! Took out the clunking and sqeaking noise from my leaf springs on my 18 sierra.
Wow! Completely blown away by this product. I have a ‘21 Trail Boss and the squeaky leaf springs were driving me crazy! (I was driving around with a can of lubricant). After a fairly simple and quick install of these pads, the squeaks were gone. Amazing. If I could give more stars I would!
I have a 2018 Chevy Colorado LS, have had a clunking noise off and on for a while now. Took it to a local Chevy Dealership and they told me the undercoating I had put on, was causing the rear leaf springs to clunk. Then I saw the Spring Thing advertised. So, I thought I would give it try. Installation took about 15 mins. No more clunk, nice quite ride! Just like new again! Best $50 investment I spent!! Thanks Spring Thing!!
