How often should I grease the upper and lower control arms and quick disconnects? The upper and lowers come pre-greased, so I didn’t grease them. I just read that the quick disconnects didn't come greased. :banghead: But I now have over 500 miles on the lift and I’m wondering if I should add more grease to the upper and lowers?

It looks like I need to buy some type of an attachment for these flush mount grease zerks? I need the disconnects greased ASAP.

Grease the arms every oil change and after any water crossings/mud hole playing.Don't ever grease the disconnects,they will function better dry then greased,will not be as noisy either being dry.

Thanks Troy. That’s good to know about the disconnects.

Do you know where I can buy the proper attachment for the flush fittings on the upper and lower arms? I’ve never seen this type of grease fittings before. Image
