What to grease
I'm gonna change my oil and was gonna grease up my shackles and LCAs from my lift for the first time since the lift. Is there anything else on the jeep that could use some grease? My friend said the ball joints, but I haven't a clue what that is. Thanks

any zerk fitting you find requires maintance. ball joints, tie rod ends, front axle, u joints... any aftermarket bushings that may have a zerk.
just get under the rig and look around. i have 8 under my 90, and i get them once a month. sealed joints are that way for a reason, don't blow out the seal by pumping too much grease, unsealed joints pump grease till you see old grease coming out. old grease coming out is "flushing" out dirt that could destroy the joint. (FYI mister 3rd oil change, the brake bleed srews are NOT grease zerks)
