quick questions about regarding teraflex and tires.
hey guys, i bought the tf 2.5 coil kit and plan on installing it this week. i watched the install video on youtube and noticed the rear sway bar links have grease fittings and he made a point of mentioning that. the ones that came in my kit did not have any hole for grease fittings? is that the way that are doing them now?
and my second question is: i am having 315/70-17 duratracs installed tomorrow before the lift and will not be offloading at all until the lift is on. is there anything i need to modify to stay safe and not rub? i added the tf rear bump stops in for some security but i didn't get around to the fronts since thats a little more involved. can't wait for it to be complete. also if i were to do the lift myself with no help and a fair amount of experience, how long should it take with the proper tools? thanks guys!

It took me about 6 hours, including breaks. My advice is to trim or notch out the plastic on the front passenger inside, to loosen and replace the shock. Other than that, went pretty smooth.

Should be fine
Yeah I would just take it easy. If you dont have after market rims or wheels spacers you may rub some stuff at full turn maybe even the rear sway bar links but you will know this as soon as you install the tires. As far as grease nipples or lack there of, I have installed 2 of the Teraflex coil lifts the older one had links with zerks the newer one did not. This is not a mistake, like you said this is how they are done now.

install went good overall. the only bitch was lining up the rear track bar to meet the hole and also the passenger side front spring was a pita to install. didn't need to reset the steering wheel and i don't think i will be needing lower control arms. i have a front adjustable track bar just in case but may even skip that too. can't wait to test it out once the icy puddles melt!
