I just replaced all my bushings about a month ago, and all four of the cab ones was a two person job. I actually had to cut the original ones out with a saw-zaw, careful not to ruin the bottom, cause you will re-use it.
I had to pull up the kick panels to get the carpet to come up to get access to the bolts for the front two. The back ds one was the worst since you either work around the fuel tank or drop it. Since I had my pal helping I had him tighten/loosen from the top. All the rest he held & I worked from the bottom.
Hope this helps ya.

sure you can move it around a bit, but you really need a jack, especially when putting the new ones in place. I went back with poly and they were like flippin towers compared to 25 year old rubber!!!
