Also, can you guys recommend a lubricant to put between the leafs?

Thanks
Slight metal wear in the metal? If you see my build thread (in my signature) I had slight metal wear in the eye. Very minimal though. I then put JB Weld on the eyelets in the areas that were worn. Cleaned them up, sandblasted the leafs, re-bushed the eyes and assembled them with spring liner. Perfect and cost effective.
