    Hey all,

    Thought I'd post a thread here and ask for some specific grease suggestions for OME parts.

    Maybe this can translate to other vendors as well (poly bushings in general, etc).

    New to truck work, doing research to get parts ready for a suspension, and I just notice a lack of consolidation around opinions on stuff like this. Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places, but it took me a bit to figure out what grease I wanted to use.

    Here's what I'm rolling:

    OME UCA ball join grease - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JF2LBQ6?ie=UTF8&th=1 (Schaeffer Manufacturing Co. 02742-029S Moly EP Synthetic Plus Grease, NLGI #2, 14 oz.)

    OME Dakar Leaf Spring Poly Bushing Grease (The yellow ones) - (SUPER LUBE 3 Oz Synthetic Grease)

    Also going to throw that superlube in between some of the plastic wafers on the spring as well, generally wherever it might start squeaking.

    What do ya'll think? Good mix of grease so far? What else would you suggest?

    Planning on shoving grease in that UCA nipple every oil change interval till it runs clean (5k miles or so).

    OME Spring Bushing Link - https://store.arbusa.com/leaf-spring-bushing-kit-omesb1/

    If you have more suggestions for other parts as well, maybe not even OME specific, just throw some verbiage down there. I might consolidate it into my post for other newb truck owners like myself later on.
