My RP's handbook recommends that the road springs be lubricated with penetrating oil. Working on the basis that the factory knew what it was doing, I use old engine oil, making sure that the weight is off the springs so that the oil gets between the leaves. It makes the suspension reasonably soft and cures a multitude of squeaks.
