Picture? Lot of times the uppers will have normal zerk and the lowers can sometimes have smaller needle zerks for clearance. Not sure which BJs you have.

That little zerk is for the lower. i typically use a needle fitting to hit that one. Depending on what BJ you have, sometimes it is recessed a bit right below the axle shaft u-joint, and sometimes it is right below the bottom of the C. I've got a Lock N Lube on my grease gun so I use their needle here on the right, but good ole standard needing fitting in general works fine.

Nice thanks, I'll check to see how much clearance I have when I install them, I might end up grabbing that fitting. I don't want to publicly say what ball joints they are until I've run them for around 30k then I'll give them a review on here hahaha
