It's just a stock replacement with the original style rubber in them. I thought about trying to replace the old one's with polyurethane but with the age of the truck and what looked like a pain in the *** removing them, just figured I wouldn't be replacing them again anyway..haha

Yea, it's a PITA, but worthwhile, 'cause you'll probably never do the job again!

I thought this too but a year later they are worn out again because they are an exact copy of the factory VERY SOFT rubber .

I am going to take them out ommorow and use the energy suspension ones . Yes it wil be a pain in the *** but it will be worth it.

I don't have a press either so i will do what i did with my track bar bushings -torch-hacksaw -BFH-chisels and then use the mechanics vice as my poor man's press. I broke my vise last time too
