I'm getting ready to replace the original leaf springs on my '88 XJ w/ 210K on the clicker w/ some leafs from a stock '98 w/ around 40K. I will also be adding a Rusty's 2" full length AAL at the same time. I have the leaf packs completely disassembled and am in the process of grinding off all the surface rust, priming and painting them w/ Rustoleum (painting the AALs also). Before I reassemble the packs I would like to make sure they are adequately lubricated. What is the best method for doing this?
Anyone ever used this stuff?

I have plenty of the Mercury Marine 2-4-C w/ telfon lubricant left over from my new outboard motor. Can I just use that? My fear is that the grease will hold any dirt and grime that gets between the leaves and require frequent disassembly and regreasing. But is does have the water resistant properties. Here is the description (not very detailed):
"A high quality multi-purpose lubricant to withstand extreme friction and also providing added water resistance. Can not be used on needle bearings or other internal engine parts."
What do you all think? The pads will be reinstalled at the leaf ends.
Thanks.
