Hey, no problem. I know you were struggling to figure things out but you're right, regular maintenance is something every vehicle needs and new upgraded components definitely need it as well.
Just "one kernel" of insight?
Yes, let's "hear" (no pun intended) from other people with other kits of any make since you're so convinced that I'm out to get ya and sell you crap that you don't want. Somebody please tell this guy all about your awesome aftermarket control arms and/or track bars built with factory rubber bushings.
By the way, you never did say what kind of lithium grease it was you used - but, I guess it really doesn't matter
But there was one kernel of insight in your response:
I'd be interested in hearing from other people who have kits with comparable flex from other manufacturers who are not necessarily sponsors of this forum. Is this a common thing? I'm willing to accept it if so, and frankly I'm stuck with it either way.

i have over 7,000 miles on my lift. no noise. no problems at all.
I did however greese everything this past weekend. the trac bars too. It only about 10 minutes if that for them, and they really didnt needed greesed..
I'm sure you can pay someone to greese your fittings if its that much work..
edit.. I used white lithium grease

Does anyone know the type and size of zerk used by FT? I'd like to get matching zerks for the trackbars (the lift kit is on the way, so can't check). There seems to be a plethora of models and options...
