I have the 2.5" max travel. What can I do to get a smoother ride and more articulating rear? I want to reduce the amount of roll felt when the back comes down off of rocks, more like the front does.

This is what i did. I also had my rear brake lines relocated to the inside of the rear shock mount ( top ) so it wouldnt hit the sway bar anymore. Now i can go wheeling after i break in my new gears.

I have a strange issue with my grease zerts, Two of them on my LCA's are impossible to grease, I have tried zerts from another arm that works and still can't put grease in my joints. Could it be a bad joint? They are like that since new (about two months)

The joints are tight. Very tight lol. I have both the older style joints and the new ones with the zerks. The old ones get sprayed with wd40 from time to time and I can maybe squeeze a tiny bit of grease in the new ones. I have 25k+ miles on the old style and they are just as tight as day one.
The new style joints are on the upper arm of the 3 link I had installed in March.

When do you buy the lift ?
Do you have the new or old coils?... Big difference.

It happens. The joints are greased from the factory with tight tolerances. Don't worry about it. Drive it around and try again with some miles. Sometimes it takes time for the joint to loosen up.
CURRIE joints are known for this too.
