This may seem odd, but the best ones I have ever seen and purchased are from Off Road Design :cool: I know your trucks not a 4x4, but the rear suspension is the same and these greasable bushings are nice. They are $75, but since they include the special bolts and all hardware I think its a steal.

oc, go to either speedtek by Sam's club in Midwest City or the 4 Wheel parts place over by the fair grounds. I think its on May, just north of 10th st. That's where I got mine.

I dunno if you have ever changed spring bushings before, but its no easy task on an old truck. You have to drill out the old rubber, beat, press....cuss the old ones out. It will make removing your engine look like a cakewalk :p

I took mine to a local spring place and they pressed the old ones out with ease. :cool: I think you can rent a bushing removal tool. :confused:
