In light of what Paul discovered, I may have been mistaken in what I did, but in my case, my spring leaves were rusted together when I got the truck. In order to free them so they could work normally, I took them apart, blasted them and shot epoxy primer and then urethane paint on them individually.
When reassembling them, I applied a thin layer of marine red grease between the leaves.
I have not re-lubed them. I cannot see that they move very much in a PW. I wonder if the spring engineers were more concerned with lighter spring packs with a lot of movement in them? Anyway, I did not want rust to get going again between the leaves.
