Im about to replace both front and rear shock absorbers and i purchased the KYB monomax shocks should i replace the bushings that come in the box with the front shocks or would it be ok to leave the same rubber bushings in the front ???

 

The new ones come with the new shocks... go ahead and replace them. Costs nothing extra and you get the bushings designed for the new shocks.

I just put a new set of the Monomax's on my front end and am very happy with them.

 

Ok cool thanks a lot
The factory ones were still on the truck so it needed them but im still hearing a clunk only on the left side drivers side of the truck only when i go over a pot hole or speed bump or sewer caps
so i am curious what that might be ball joint or a sway bar link

 

Could be either.

Jack up the truck with the tire off the ground. Then place a long pry bar under the lifted tire and see if you can lift up on the tire while watching the ball joints. If you see tire movement upwards and ball joint slop with no load on the tire (while pushing the tire upwards), then you know that it is ball joints. It is typically the upper which goes first, but best to replace both at the same time.
