We are still running HOSS 2.0 on our 2dr on skinny 37s. Planning to do the HOSS 3.0 but probably keep it stock with stock tie rods. Aftermarket needs to get their crap together...

Upper section of The Fallen in Sand Hollow.
The OEM grease is RheoGel 429. There is a different grease for the ball nut specifically, but I lathered up the whole rack in as much RheoGel 429 as I could pack. It's hard to find online, but there are other greases with similar specifications, like what SierraBronco shared. Honestly most anything is better than nothing!
I forget why we ended looking elsewhere. I think maybe because it was only available in Diddy-babyoil quantities? Or maybe not available to the public. Something like that. This one was the most similar.
All this talk about "ball nut" and "rack" lube does sound like court reporting on the trial...
You should check out Vasher Designs. Mike makes a Billet Rack as well, and parts. I have his Billet Passenger side Housing on my 2.0 rack with Bronc bushing on Drivers side. Im on 37s and have had pretty good luck with mine, just a level on the front for lift. I also noticed he has his own Driver side polymer bushing listed as well now.( polymer for lack of a better term)What is the magic grease?

I don't see his bushings listed. Do you have a link?
Possibly. My understanding is the clunk isn't a failure type issue. More of a steering feel and annoying thing. It seems that there must be some variance in the 74W builds...
You might need to email him. Doing a lot of updates on the website. BE PATIENT! Lol. It’s just him and his wife. Seem like good people
He said (we’re talking suspension so I asked him real quick since I had him on the line) he’ll make them by request but isn’t advertising them on the website any more. So if it’s something you’re serious about shoot him an email
We never had a problem with ours either. But, when planning out the mods, I was trying to strengthen appropriately for what we were doing. Thought the steering rack would fall in that category of things that need beefed up. Can’t do anything about it now beyond being honest in the experience to prevent others from making the same mistake.
