Has anyone replaced some of the grease zerks with angled ones for post build maintenance access? I am looking at the front LCAs. Replacing the zerks with 90s would allow them to be accessed from beneath without a fight. The rears Infact don’t seem to be accessible at all once installed without some dissasembly

I have a 90 deg fitting on my grease gun that helps but yes I have changed some zerks to 45 and 90 deg. On the front upper "A" arms I have the zerks on the top and with the 90 drg fitting on the grease gun I can reach them easily.

No way to know that until you remove the old one.

I changed all my front control arm zerks (upper and lower) to 45 and 90 degrees. So easy to do now I do it every few months.

I'm doing a 35 Truck build, but I have already replaced the grease zerks on the LCAs to a 45 degree fitting.

Yes, they sell them in a combo box of straight, 45 and 90's in Autozone for about $6.
