    I need to grease my Bilstein UCA bushings and ball joints. I found the grease I need on Amazon - Prothane Super Grease.

    Trying to find a good, reliable grease gun. I'm a total newb at this and will pay for something higher quality and reliable but literally know zero about grease guns or brands.

    Any recommendations on brand/model, or how much a good quality one should cost?

    I just picked up a pistol grip at Autozone. Was like around $22. Works fine for me.

    I recently got the Milwaukee M12 and dedicated it to chassis grease. I figured I’ll be more likely to use it and grease the truck often if its as easy as pulling the trigger. I sometimes struggle with my other grease gun holding the hose on the zerk fitting and juggling the gun and squeezing the handle with the other free hand. Almost need three hands to do it.

    I got the lincoln gun recommended above and the lock-n-lube. Being a newb I found the grease gun to be confusing to prime but I think it was me, not the gun. And the Lock-n-lube was for sure a smart call.
