    I get my Grease guns from Napa....Not sure of the name. The teflon spray lube I use is called Tri Flow. Any good teflon dry lube should do the trick. :)

    Depends on the lift height. In many cases, the Toe is out about 1" or so, so that can cause some tire wear. If its only for a few days, you will be fine.

    So here i am on this beautiful saturday afternoon, assembling the UCA's so they are ready for install tomorrow...I start with putting the zerk's in. the first zerk i tried putting in, the first couple threads went by hand OK, then nada. So i got a wrench and slowly and carefully started to thread it more, got it almost all the way in, and the f*cking zerk BREAKS. I now have the threaded part of the zerk stuck in the UCA. I tried pulling it out with a bolt extractor, but it wont freaking budge.


    help? :mad:

    No nut on the ball joint. Hit the bottom threaded part with a hammer. It will pop out.

    I get it all together, and start to move my truck and park for the night - and at that point i realized i forgot to hook the sway bar back up. when i turned right, it tore the lower CV boot, and sprayed grease everywhere. lol
