No grease zerks.
Installed a Jakes a arm lift kit because I read it was the best but was a little disappointed that the bushings and heim joints were not greasable. Oh well, there is always an oil can handy around the farm but still, not the same as grease injected into the joint. Also going to weld the lift blocks to the axle and make a better clamp plate under the springs. The way Jake's sez to do it looks a little too "lightweight" for a decent torque motor. Back in my street racing days, spring perches were welded to the axle, the U bolts were only to keep the axle attached to the spring, not for handling torque from launching or braking.

Re: No grease zerks.
I have the Jakes 6 inch lift kit also, I hated the rear kit with one u bolt per side. I changed my rear only to an all sport kit. It is a 2 u bolt per side kit, heavier gauge steel top and bottom plates and spacer. Nice kit, it is not on their website you have to call them.

Re: No grease zerks.
I'm thinking one bolt per side, [good U bolts are incredibly strong] should be enough if it is clamping a rigid assembly and doesn't have to keep the axle from twisting.
