Dull Clunking Leaf Springs

[dmac]

Anyone have noise coming from leaf springs on their F150?

Specifically a dull "tap on empty plastic gas can" type thunk, when going over bumps and turning on inclines at low speeds.

I do think it's correlated to grime/junk building up between the springs.

Just a little embarrassing to have a 50+k truck sounding like my old one, on which I replaced the leaf springs @60k miles to solve this same problem.

I haven't seen any issues with mine.

I had the same issue, everything was properly torqued and no broken parts.
I sprayed Fluid Film between the leaf springs and the noise disappeared.

Can you please share what fluid you used ? ( link please)
