i use it and it works very well.
This is great stuff and I'll second the recomendation. It is the stickiest grease I've ever used!

Also an observation; the sway bar links can make a ton of noise. Pulling them apart and greasing them up will go a long way towards quiting a JK down.

I SOmetimes it takes pulling things apart to slather the grease on. Not everyplace that needs grease has a grease fitting. I thnk lift manufacturers do a dis-service by not instructing that things be well greased before installing.

This particular grease can also be purchased from CTM Racing; the heavy duty ujoint mfg. It's what they recommend.

Hey guys,
There are a couple of major factors that I have noticed regarding noise. Grease and tightness of the cartridge joints. After the first 500 miles all the cartridge joints should tightened. If the cartridge joints aren't tight they wont hold in the needed grease. The next major factor is grease. Greasing the kit is very important and should be done on a regular basis. If after trying both of these you are still having problems give me a call and I will do my best to get you taken care of.

CLACKEY(_!_) has the original front upper arms and back then, they just had c-clips on both sides of the joint and no zerks. these had no way of tightening things up and were a pain to grease. is there any way you guys can help him out with a new set of updated joints for the frame end?

If you read some other forums, they'll slam the FT lifts.

I don't get it.

I have had nothing but great performance out of my lift, and understand it requires some degree of maintenance. Like an oil change, rotating tires, greasing all the zerks on my JK,...

FT makes a very good lift kit.
