Quick Question On Installing My JBA Gen 5.5 Arms

So when i put the balljoint into the knuckle and put the nut onto the balljoint do i screw it on just far enough so that the hole in the nut lines up with the hole on the balljoint and put the pin through both the nut and balljoint or do i tighten the nut all the way up as far as it will go then put the pin through? Also do i need to grease the balljoints or do they come greased enough? I Hope this makes sense.

Think its 60-80 lbs of torque,and do not back nut up to line up hole,go tighter.Fill it with grease when you get done.

This is what I do, run the nut up, then tighten down to 60 to 80 ft.... loosen it and re torque back to 60ish. Then tighten it as need to line up the hole.......

Perfect, and do you think if I wait till Monday to grease them anything will happen? The alignment shop isn't open till Monday.

Got a grease gun and greased them. The ride actually seemed better probably cuz the balljoints are at a bad angle
