    Nice! I upgraded (still inexpensive) to a single hand grease gun and it has a flexible hose. The reviews were all positive but some complained that it was hard to remove the nozzle from the zerk. Even I experienced this. When I used it on the UCA ball joint and again today on my forward drive shaft (two fittings, none on the rear?) I appreciated that. It goes on and stays on while pumping. My older two hand guns require pressure to hold it on. Under the truck, the front drive shaft fittings are a little hard to get to, especially the rear one closest to the transfer case. So once I had it on I had no problems pumping and I've learned to just tilt the nozzle while pulling it off.

    Thanks for the link. I added it to wishlist in case the one I have doesn't work out. I got
    REXBETI Grease Gun, Pistol Grip Grease Gun Set with 18" Flex Hose, Heavy Duty Steel Barrel, 2 Reinforced Coupler Included
    this one. It hasn't popped off, but I that one zerk fitting needs a lot of pressure to prevent a leak.

    Looks like
    $32 LockNLube Grease Gun Coupler locks onto Zerk fittings. Grease goes in, not on the machine. World's best-selling original locking grease coupler. Rated 10000 PSI. Long-lasting rebuildable tool.
    this may be a good option too.

    Yea, if I start to have problems with mine I'll switch out the nozzle for one like that. :thumbsup:

    Are most of ya'll running the HD or standard arms? I scanned a handful of pages but didn't see if there was any general consensus on what the limits of the standard arms are, or when one should consider going with the HD.

    From what I can tell, 99% of people go with standard arms, including myself.

    There is an entire section on the site that explains it. You have to dig around. I think it should be on the same page as the three choices.

    A few minor things...
    Those nozzles are great. I bought them for the grease guns at work (dewalt 20v grease guns) and they work awesome. My guys have put a few hundred tubes of grease through them without any problems.

    Bought and installed some standard UCAs, and got em installed on Saturday. No miles yet until alignment, I’m rubbing pretty bad on the cab mount, I need more castor and hopefully it takes care if it. I’ll report back once I get the alignment.

    Hey guys- planning on running 5100s with 887. Which JBA model do I need for UCAs? High castor standard? High castor HD or the standard replacement stock?

    Sorry if I didn't read the whole thread. Trying to buy tonight!

    So since I'm lifting about 2"... I want the standard high caster and NOT the standard replacement?

    I'm thinking this one:
