Replacing lower control arm bolts

I'm replacing a control arm alignment bolt on my 87, the previous owner used a bolt and washer.

Should I use grease or anti seize on the bolt surface that way it doesn't seize in the sleeve? I thought I heard anti seize can cause corrosion issues in nasty environments and this is a woods truck.

I never seize most all the bolts on my vehicles.
