I have installed a 6.5 rough country lift and my problem is that the two piece control arms rattle just enough when i hit a bump that i can hear it clearly in the vehicle. does any one else have this problem and can it be solved?

definitely grease them. i have the same lift, and don't have the problem. you need to make sure you grease them until you can actually see the grease coming out of the end of the threads. it will take a while, there's alot of space to fill. but it will take care of the rattle, and it will also make sure you don't get water in there and rust out your threads.

I know many people have allready said it but definitly grease them. I have the same exact lift that i just put on about 3 weeks ago. I didnt have a grease gun so i took it to jiffly lube and for about 25 dollars they greased EVERYTHING to include the controll arms. It is also quite a bit stiff but wear it in for a few weeks and the ride gets ALOT better.
