    Will be installing SPC UCAs, Bilstein 5100s, OME 887s, and a rear HS AAL.

    Per SPCs website, they say to use NLGi #2 Grade LB with 3-5% moly grease. Is this a particular brand?

    What brand do you all recommend for the AAL?

    Also, been seeing people state they had complications removing the bolt for the UCAs. Would rather not bind metal if possible. What are your thoughts?

    Yes use the suggested grease for the SPC ball joints. Only time you want to use something different is when greasing poly bushings...for those you went a PTFE silicone grease

    Nothing special on the grease. NLGI #2 is a rating Not a brand. Read the cartridge label since they recommended Moly grease and not Lithium etc.
