Question - What kind of grease (does it matter?) should you use on the hinge? Regular old lithium ok?

The instructions don't say, and I've emailed Smittybilt, been waiting a few days now for response...

I just got an email that says I can expect my other half on Friday. I guess they shipped mine out of 2 different warehouses.
