Sway bar drop link bushings, can be bought from summit or jegs in urathane. Getting the OEM rubber bushings can be a pita, especially the thin metal band the sits between the rubber and outer sleeve.
I've heard of guys burning out the rubber then cutting out the metal band. I used the 100 ton press at work, they were tight as heck and made a load pop when they decided to press out.

Yep, they will cause the pop sound, and so will the sway bar bushings that wrap the sway bar and mount to the truck frame. You can order both set of bushing, your gonna need to know the OD size of the sway bar to order the frame to bar bushings.

Energy Suspension makes them. Use the search on Summit Racing websit, narrow search by selecting your year truck and model, and be sure to get the right size sway bar bushing, there is two different OD size bars.

Driving without a sway bar isn't going to cause issues, maybe a little body roll when making turns, but nothing that will cause issues.
