The ID Speed is the best around if you need a brac.

bnrodn,

"Super Lube" silicone lubricating grease works well for urethane bushings. Do not use a multi-purpose grease - this type of grease is not silicone based and will ruin polyurethane bushings.

You can buy the silicone grease it on Amazon (and other places). Recommend that you buy a grease gun and a 14 oz. cartridge so the grease can be pumped into the channels of the bushings. Taking the sway bar off to reapply grease is a lot of work (in my opinion), a grease gun makes the job very easy and quick.

HTH.
The problem with SuperLube is it’s not really thick enough and doesn’t last nearly as long as the Energy Suspension silicone grease you can easily get. It’s the industry standard and what pretty much everyone sends out with their bars or bushings. O’Reilly can usually have it same day.

UNBROKEN,

Thanks for the info. Until I started using urethane bushings, I did not know about silicone grease and Super Lube was recommended by one of the vendors so that is what I have been using. Super Lube greased bushings do need regreasing regularly, as you said. I figured this was just part of living with urethane components. I will hot foot it to O'Reilly's and get some E/S silicone grease. [cheers]

Old topic but I did the JXB install a few months ago. Easy install with a drive up ramp and a T stand. No complaints so far. View attachment 34351

The best wheel spacers are properly fit wheels. If you’re settling for spacers and going for flush, 1” all around with rear camber at -.5° is flush with the factory 21’s but you’ll need to trim the factory studs for clearance on the back side of the wheel. If you don’t want to trim, 30mm Eibach spacers are the next best option, use the same rear camber number.
Anyone telling you you need staggered spacers or 1.25” or bigger spacers is just selling you a half measure.
