My leaf springs on my 2019 303 RLS are quite squeaky. Just wondering if theses normal or can I use some silicone on them...thx

Welcome to our owners technical forum.
Springs don't usually make noise . . . but, the bushings where the springs attach to the frame and equalizer, often do. On your Reflection, you should have what are called "wet bolts" through the bushings in the spring ends. This means that there will be a grease fitting on the head of the bolt, accessible from under the trailer. Using a grease gun on these fittings until you see a little bit of grease squeeze out around the bushing should solve the squeaking problem (and increase the longevity of the bushings)

On thing to check is the U bolt nut torque. There have been issues in the past of there bolts not being tight enough and allowing the axle to move on the spring pack. That movement could be a source of the noise.Originally posted by Shep View Post2018 Reflection 150 Series 220RK 5th whee, Star White 2022 F350 King Ranch CC Long bed (HAL) (CCC 4062lbs), B&W 25K OEM Companion,.
