Yes, you have to buy all new hardware or make your own. I made my own using 3/4" black pipe and grade 8 hardware. Here is my post:

This is from someone who installed polyurethane bushings. The reason I say stay stock unless you are racing is the polyurethane bushing are really stiff. This translates into a really harsh ride and even when you use the supplied silicone lubricant, they will squeak. If I had it to do over, I'd use the stock bushing for the street.

Thanks, I'll keep it in mind. The only poly's I'm using are on the radius arms of my 92' F-150

I have them in my truck. They ride a 10 times better than stock rubber bushings, there is no comparison. They may look stiff but a "harsh ride" no way, a nice firm, stable ride is what I got. I didn't put any silicone on them and there is no "squeak" and it's been over 5 years now. I recomend them to anyone for any type of driving.
I have no reason to doubt what you are saying. I'm just sharing my experience. Others on this site have shared experiences similar to mine. I used the Prothane Urethane kit.
