Check your leaf spring shackles!
Just went through a pretty rough stretch of the Alaska highway northbound between Destruction Bay and Beaver Creek, YT. Stopped for fuel, and found this: I'm lucky the axle didn't rip off!...

This year my 2006 got all new shackles, equalizers, and wet bolts. Prevention is less expensive than a roadside break down.
Couldn't be more true. The only repair shop up here in a hundred miles charged $125 CAD for the repair... for two shackles (that aren't even the same length as the original) and a bolt!
I just ordered the EZ-Flex for $300 shipped to Fairbanks and will probably get a new set of springs as well. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
