    I've got Icon lower track bars with the flush / needle fitting. The lower mount is int he way so I have to disconnect them to lube them up. I use a couple ratchet straps so it's easy to align the hole to get the bolt back in but it would be real nice to be able to pub them while onthe vehicle.

    I was thinking of just cutting a notch in the metal so they are easier to get ti. Maybe weld some metal above so it's more stable. Anyone do anything like this?

    Technically yes but then the "Icon" would be upside down, the e-brake line would not have a hole to mount to and there's these plastic strips on the bottom that are replaceable and meant to take damage instead of the aluminum. and those would be on he top.

    I have to drop the control arm to lube it. Dropping the suspension almost doesn't move that valve.
