I just installed a set of weight jacker LCA's, and noticed they have a grease fitting. What type of grease should i use?

Just regular chassis grease should do. It doesn't need to be anything special.

Ok i greased the lowers; but i'm still getting a slight squealing/creeking sound when i push down on the chassis. I heard something about silicone spray on the metal connectors to the chassis. Other than the sound, my car feels awesome. I wish i got them a while ago. By the way they are granitelli weight jackers. thanks

Did you tighten the LCA bolts while the suspension was loaded? Sometimes, bushings will make noise if the fasteners are tightened with no load on the suspension.
