IRS center section bushings

[Boiler Ben]

Hopefully an easy question. Do the bushings for the IRS center section get any grease before assembly or should they go in dry?

Dry. I sometimes use soap if they are tight

Thanks!

Is there any downside to greasing the bushings? I greased mine and was planning on installing the center section this weekend.

Thanks

If your frames are powder coated make sure to run a drill bit through EVERY hole before you start to assemble. Not so much a factor for the IRS but will be for the suspension.

I second this comment! reduced a ton of frustration once I figured this out.

Also, I didn't use any grease/oil on the fittings.
