    As much as anything is possible....
    So, last Saturday I installed Dobinson greasable bolts, so that's taken care of. Before tightening the bolts, I rock the shit out of a truck to "cycle the suspension", there was a squeeks in the front. I lubbed the lower shock mounts, rocked the truck some more - all quiet.
    Next day I was able to stretch the suspension a bit on some forest roads in NJ, squeeks was back. I gave up

    What bolts are these?

    Basically wherever rubber has contact with metal/or moves, needs grease. Sway bar, lower shock, grease uca ball joint. Next step is to get a camera in there or look for different grease

    Those guys Dobinsons Greasable Pin Kit for Toyota Tacoma and Tundra 2005 to 2018

    Now, bushing sleeves don't have any holes in them, so any grease will end up between bolt and a sleeve... So in the end, I'm not 100% sure if that made a lot of sense.

    My LCAs squeak REAL bad when they're dry. A couple days of rain and it goes away. I gotta take em off and grease the bushings better. I have the whiteline bushings in my LCAs.

    Thoughts on MT suspension build:

    I like Down South https://downsouthmotorsports.com/i-...it-with-compression-adjuster-25001-121-a.html or Filthy http://www.filthymotorsports.com/ for parts.

    Definitely do the ECGS bushing, and I also recommend gusseted spindles. I have an extra set of spindles to use as cores with @glorifiedwelder.

    You'll also need to upgrade the Upper Control Arm, or the ball joint will wear out in about 6 months. There's two options: get the JBA: https://jbaoffroad.com/jba-std-high...plus-4runner-03-plus-fj-cruisers-07-plus.htmlwhich is a great answer for our trucks and lots of guys have very good luck with these combined with an OEM LCA

    or go all in and get a set of Dirt King Upper and Lower arms
    https://dirtkingfabrication.com/collections/05-15-tacoma/products/heim-upper-control-arms-dk-811903
    https://dirtkingfabrication.com/col...ucts/performance-lower-control-arms-dk-811904
    This is what I run, but I am much, much, harder on my truck than the average bear.


    119A is the correct answer for the front. Buy once, cry once, and they are fully rebuildable, so we can fix any issues or make tuning adjustments as needed.

    For the rear I recommend a Dakar pack and BAMF relocate.
