RIZE Lift problem

Just wondering if any of you with the RIZE 8 inch lift have had a similar problem.

I had the Lift installed about a year ago and has since developed a "squeak" when turning the wheel.

Took it to my local "Stealership" and they found that one of the bearings in the SLIDE part of the lift is going /is bad.

I always tried to keep them greased but failed to do so in the last 6 months or so.

It looks like I must contact RIZE for a possible replacement bearing (roller) .

Long story short -- has this bearing (roller) failed on anyone else and if so how hard was it to replace.

ive had no problems with it, never even greased them. i did not know you where supposed to. I do have a terrible knock when driving down ruff roads (i suspect ball joints) and a pop when turning (Also suspect ball joints).

Check the sway-bar brushings where the sway-bar connects to the LCA. I had a brushing tear off and it made these exact noises. Its a relatively cheap fix as well.
