    Might sound stupid but what I wanted to know is if there is a specific grease for UCA bushings and a specific grease for leaf spring bushings? Or are they one in the same? Doing my first lift install and need to know which grease to buy. Mahaloz

    If you're grabbing some grease from local autozone/pep boys/etc, I'd recommend going w/ Lucas or valvoline. But in reality, just about anything is better than nothing. Keeping them clean and greased is more important than what type you use IMO.

    Thanks for the reply! I was thinking about grabbing some superlube. Read good things about it. Can I use it on both the leaf spring bushing and the UCA bushing? or do I have to use another lubricant for the UCA's?

    You'd be fine w/ that on the UCAs. I believe thats what TC recommends on theirs. I've just never seen it at stores which is why I didn't recommend it.

    Try Lucas green stuff. It’s polyurea based. Very sticky and sticks in place and adheres to surfaces very well. It’s also much better at resisting water than lithium based greases. This isn’t to say lithium based greases aren’t good, this would just be slightly better.
