Welcome to the forum!

Start by squirting some wd40 between the leaves of your springs, if that helps then uhmwpe tape between the leaf springs will be a permanent improvement.

It would help us advise you if we knew what the suspension set up was, is it standard or lifted etc?

Some pictures would be helpful if you don't know what it has fitted.

Thanks

im not much of a mechanic but willing to learn.it has a 2inch suspension lift and has heavy duty shockers.im thinking the shockers are to heavy duty for the sierra. thanks

I think Scottie was trying to find out exactly what kind of 2" lift - shackles, body lift, rears up front, lift springs, YJ's, reverse shackle etc etc.

Pics would help loads.

You need to make the file size below 1Mb I think the limit is.

Sometimes you can just right click and there is a resize option, or open in paint and resize there.
