I have an OME lift in transit to me now (01XJ, stock). Should I use locktite or anti-seize compound on all suspension components ? I received JKS disconnects and they recommend locktite.
I don't know if I will ever add anything more but who knows...but I don't want things coming apart later either.
Thanks.
 
as someone that's lost a LCA bolt, it sucks.
Use some blue loctite.
Red requires heat, blue can be broken with hand tools. Make sure you torque them to spec, then check them after you drive it, just to be sure.
 
Lock tight is a pain in the ass. I only use it when the FSM specifically calls for it and not always then.

Use Anti-sieze. It will help you get if off next time and will also to an extent keep it from loosening also.

If I take something apart on my XJ, it is going back together with a copious amount of anti-sieze.
