Fix Ram 1500 / 2500 Leaf Spring Squeak – Fast DIY Rear Suspension Noise Repair

If your Ram 1500 or Ram 2500 has a loud squeak coming from the rear suspension—especially at low speeds, over bumps, or when pulling into driveways—you’re definitely not alone. Ram trucks are known for rear leaf spring squeaks, and the good news is you can fix it in minutes without grease, shop fees, or replacing parts.

The Spring-Things® Kit eliminates Ram leaf spring squeaks fast using a simple, proven DIY method trusted by truck owners nationwide.

⭐ Common Ram Squeak Symptoms

Ram truck owners typically report:

  • Squeaking or chirping from the rear suspension
  • Noise when turning or entering driveways
  • Chirping sound at low speeds or when coasting
  • Squeaking when hitting small bumps or rough roads
  • Noise caused by leaf springs rubbing together
  • Squeak that gets worse when the truck bed is empty

If your Ram squeaks when rocked side-to-side or when stepping on the rear bumper, the leaf springs are almost always the cause.

🔍 Why Ram Leaf Springs Squeak

Ram 1500 and 2500 leaf springs squeak because:

  • The leaves inside the spring pack rub directly against each other
  • Dirt, dust, and road debris build up between the leaves
  • Factory pads and shims wear out over time
  • Temperature changes cause expansion and friction
  • Normal driving changes bolt torque and compression on the pack

Shops often suggest lubrication (a temporary fix), spring replacement (expensive), or simply “living with it.”

You don’t have to.

The fix is simple—and proven.

🛠 The Best DIY Fix for Ram Leaf Spring Squeak

The Spring-Things® Squeak Eliminator Kit fits most 2.5" rear leaf springs on many Ram 1500 and 2500 trucks.

Why it works:

  • Creates a small gap so the leaves stop rubbing together
  • Eliminates friction—the main cause of squeaking
  • Works without grease, sprays, or messy temporary fixes
  • Long-lasting solution compared to lubrication
  • Keeps your factory leaf springs and hardware intact

If your Ram uses 2.5" wide rear leaf springs, the kit is designed to work.

⏱ Installation Time: 15–20 Minutes

You only need:

  • The Spring-Things kit
  • A floor jack and jack stands
  • Basic hand tools (ratchet, sockets, or wrenches)

If you can safely lift your truck and tighten a bolt, you can do this install.

🔧 Compatible Ram Trucks (Common Fitment)

The Spring-Things® kit commonly fits rear leaf springs on:

  • Ram 1500 (various years with 2.5" wide leaf springs)
  • Ram 2500 (various years with 2.5" wide leaf springs)
  • Ram HD models still equipped with 2.5" rear springs

Always confirm spring width—if it's 2.5", the kit normally fits.

📝 FAQ

Will this fix the squeak when backing up or turning?
Yes. Those noises come from leaf springs shifting and rubbing—this stops it.

Does anything get replaced?
No. The kit installs onto your existing leaf springs.

Does it work on lifted Ram trucks?
Yes, as long as the truck still uses 2.5" wide rear leaf springs.

Is it affected by temperature?
No. Hot, cold, water, mud, or snow won’t undo the fix.

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!!
