The ES graphite-poly set I bought at a local parts store had 2 greasable and 2 non-greasable. I convinced the parts guy to let me make a set of four greasable for the same price (1.25" bar).

If you use the stock brackets on a lowered truck, I don't think the fittings would last very long. I mounted those two bushings straight to the frame.

No squeaks yet (haven't lubed them) and still feels tight with about a year of DD duty.
