    One can never have too many light bars.
    keep squeezing it until you see the old grease come out. Stop greasing when you see the new grease start to oooze out.

    Yeah, something like that. I overdid it because it was a new install and all I had was the stupid little "ketchup packet" of grease, I wasn't sure how much they would take to be properly greased. You'll feel some pressure on the grease gun when it starts to get full so be mindful of that.

    You have to remove the cam bolts and grease them so they don't seize inside the bushing sleeve

    Yeah I used the little ketchup packets to put the metal tube into the bushings when I put them together. But I should grease them on install as well?

    ^this. @Crom just did his, see his thread. Apparently you don't even have to jack the truck to pull them. Just make sure to mark the bolts before you take them out to get your alignment back. I'm planning on doing mine this weekend as a preventative measure.

    Grease will save your truck.

    This picture was taken two years ago:
    DSC00461_bd996c217e372401fbefd54a49800e79270cfb1e.jpg
    I pulled the cams and bolts out yesterday and it looked almost like it was done a few days prior. Everything was in great shape.

    Here is what they looked like with yesterday after cleaning the old grease off:

    If you've got an air compressor this is the one to get:

    the zerk gods don't like me and when ever I do the grease job thing the fittings always end up in awkward places. The air gun lets me connect the fitting how ever I can and not worry about how to pump the lever.

    I'll have my amazing alignment do it for me Monday when I get it aligned after the 3 inch lift this weekend. He should be able to do it quickly I presume

    So have him mark them, take them out and grease them. Than align it?

    No need to mark them if you do it right before an alignment , you do that if you are doing it without wanting to have to get it re-aligned
