I'm not sure what you mean by greasing them? What would make a bushing that was greasable different from a bushing that was not greasable?

Also, I just ordered a Fabtech steering stabilizer. I liked all of the options out there, but I liked the look best of Fabtech. I hope it makes a noticeable difference, and that it will look nice. I paid $51 shipped from topguncustomz.

After I install everything, my truck will obviously be out of alignment. Am I personally able to adjust that thuren fabrication track bar myself to the best of my abilities before I bring it to an alignment shop, or should I just let the alignment shop mess with that?

A grease zerk on the component that the bushing is going in. My Skyjacker control arms have grease zerks on both ends of each arm to keep the poly bushings inside greased. I also have grease zerks on the bushings where the sway bar attaches to the frame. Your stock control arms don't have this, so the only way you could keep the control arms greased would be to periodically undo the control arm, remove the bushings from each end of the arm, grease them, then reinstall. Not something you want to do very often.

Will do. The new coil springs are supposed to show up Wednesday. Unfortunately, the truck will be in the shop that day, so I probably won't be able to install them until Thursday or Friday. I'll take pictures of the job as well.
