    You don't absolutly need to lift it it would just make it easier especially on the pad that's furthest to the back becuase if you don't your screwdriver/pryer will be touching the very bottom of the fender. It doesn't seem to make prying them open too much harder not lifted though.

    King 10" coilovers w/ resi. 3.5" over long travel kit. Factory spindles w/ ALLPRO gussets. Total Chaos tower gussets. Energy Poly cab mounts and steering rack mounts. Glassworks fenders and bedsides. Home fabbed bed cage. King 2.5x16 bypass shocks in the rear. DMZ long travel rear end. Race radio (2meter). Removed secondary carbon air filter. Exhaust dumped before the axle / no muffler. Phram fresh air cabin filter. K&N replacement filter, After market stereo, Grillcraft grill, custom fabled roof rack with 7" HID's, PRP race seats.

    I use dry teflon lube from the hardware store. Works like a charm and doesn't collect dust. Same thing I was recommeded to use on my total chaos ball joints. There's a touch of wax in it so it coats the pieces and doesn't wear off too quickly.
