Lift Kit Suspension Lubrication Services

Keep Your Lifted Suspension Running Smooth, Quiet, and Long-Lasting

Lifted trucks and SUVs rely on suspension components that work harder and move more dramatically than stock setups. Proper lubrication is essential for preventing wear, reducing noise, and protecting expensive lift kit components. At our shop, we provide full lift kit suspension lubrication services designed to keep your vehicle performing at its best—on-road or off-road.

Why Lifted Trucks Need Regular Suspension Lubrication

Lifting a vehicle changes the geometry and increases the stress on:

• Control arms
• Ball joints
• Sway bar links
• Driveshaft yokes
• Steering components
• Leaf spring shackles
• Greasable lift kit hardware

These components often contain grease fittings (zerk fittings) that require regular lubrication to prevent:

• Premature wear
• Binding and stiffness
• Annoying squeaks or clunks
• Increased friction and heat
• Component failure

Proper lubrication helps your suspension move freely and safely under added lift height and increased wheel travel.

What Our Lift Kit Lubrication Service Includes

We perform a complete lubrication service tailored to lifted suspensions—far more thorough than a standard lube job.

✔ Greasing All Lift Kit Components

We lubricate all applicable points, including:

• Upper and lower control arms
• Greasable ball joints
• Sway bar bushings and end links
• Trailing arms
• Leaf spring bushings and shackles
• Aftermarket steering components
• Track bars and linkage joints

✔ Driveshaft & U-Joint Lubrication

Lifted trucks often run at more aggressive angles, which increases wear on:

• U-joints
• Slip yokes
• Carrier bearings

We ensure all driveshaft lubrication points are properly serviced.

✔ Squeak & Noise Diagnosis

Many squeaks on lifted trucks come from dry bushings or joints. We identify the source and lubricate or recommend repairs as needed.

✔ Visual Inspection for Wear

While servicing, we inspect key components for signs of:

• Cracking or dry bushings
• Excessive play
• Binding
• Metal-on-metal contact
• Grease leaks

✔ Proper Grease Type Application

We apply high-quality grease matched to the component:

• Synthetic
• Moly-fortified
• High-temp / off-road grease
• Water-resistant grease (ideal for mudding or wet climates)

Using the correct grease prevents premature breakdown and extends component life.

Benefits of Routine Suspension Lubrication

🛡 Protects Expensive Lift Kit Components

Lift kits include high-stress parts that last dramatically longer when properly greased.

🔇 Eliminates Squeaks & Noises

Dry bushings and joints are the #1 cause of squeaking in lifted trucks.

🏁 Smoother, More Controlled Ride

Lubricated suspension components move freely, improving handling and comfort.

🛞 Extends Tire Life

Free-moving components help maintain proper alignment and reduce uneven tire wear.

🌄 Better Off-Road Performance

Lubricated joints articulate more smoothly and withstand rough terrain.

---

How Often Should a Lifted Suspension Be Lubricated?

General recommendation:

• Every 5,000 miles (with routine maintenance)
• After every off-road trip
• After deep mud or water crossings
• Every 3,000 miles for trucks with greasable joints or heavy-duty use

If your suspension squeaks, clicks, or pops—it’s time for lubrication.
