Thicker oil also helps. I bash with 160k. Most people perfer alot lighter.

you are safe at 100 but i agree with 160 for bashing but if you want to go bullit proof and almost lock them you can use trailer axle grease, it is very thick but lubes very well so your parts wont bind.

Stock is 30K. I have heard of some using silly putty to lock them up same as solid.
