Upper Ball Joints with 2" Lift

Hello Delica Guys

I need to replace my upper ball joints and I have a 2" lift with spacers in between the upper control arm and the joint. The ball joints that I have now do not have grease nipples. I want to order new ball joints but I am unsure about the OEM part number (MR241623 Partsoug.com) because it shows the ball joint with a grease nipple.

Any thoughts???
Thanks

The ball joint spacers on mine have a large hole in the middle to make room for the grease nipple. I fitted a long grease nipple so I can still regrease them.

Thanks for your input. I'll try and source ball joints with nipples and replace the angled nipple with a straight one.

That said, in my experience most budget/generic replacement ball joints don't have grease nipples. I like being able to grease the ball joints (it gives me something to do) but I expect the sealed versions last long enough.
