On an 11-16 truck? I have on my 13.
I replaced them with the factory bushings. It's not a particularly difficult job, just take your time and only use hand tools and a steady, smooth pull on a breaker bar, no impact otherwise you risk breaking the sheet metal holding the captive nut in place inside the cab. Use a propane torch to heat the bolts first and loosen the loctite.
It made me nervous to jack the cab up with a bottle jack and blocking but it went smoothly otherwise.
