Default What kind of thread locker to use on suspension components?

Hey guys, not sure where this should go, since I have a 3.5" lift, but factory bolts really.. anyway, right now I don't have any thread lock on my bolts, and a lot of the suspension rattles loose after a day or two on the trails. This makes driving home really interesting unless I torque everything down before I leave.

What would you suggest I use? I've got a bottle of the blue loctite, but I'm wondering if I should bump it up to the red loctite for a more permanent lock.

Any suggestions?

If properly torqued then blue should be fine. Nice thing about blue is it makes it easier to remove the nuts/bolts down the road as well as it also acts as an anti-sieze so you get two for the price of one.
