Squeaky leaf springs

I have a 2015 SR5 access cab, and the leaf springs make a lot of noise.. I do quite a bit of rough driving, and load the bed with a lot of weight, most recently got the truck stuck in about 3 feet of mud, had to climb out the window, and it has been squeaking ever since.. Can I wash out the leaf springs, and oil them? If so, what's the best way to do this.
Thanks for any advice!

Two things to do here. Jack up the rear bumper flex the springs open and pressure wash bushing and the entire pack! Or use a good penetrating oil and spray the heck out of all you can , this will attract dirt and crap which some will tell you not to do. But, if you oil the crap out of it. Let it be for a day or so drive it then power wash without flexing the springs most of the excess oil will wash off and some should stay in the tight areas !

I think there is a TSB on that. It refers to the dampners that are between the leaf springs.
