60 f100 poly bushings

Who's got the best poly bushings for the front leaf springs? Can you get them in poly or do you have to stick with rubber? I also want to replace the sleeves and bolts.

We got ours from Dennis-Carpenter. They worked great. Are they rubber of some polymer......got me. They were pretty hard, so I think they are a polymer.

I would go with rubber. The bushings act as a shock absorber for front to back shock from hitting potholes etc. Poly bushings have very little compliance and will transfer those shocks to the chassis and steering wheel, giving a harsh ride and trying to rip the steering wheel out of you hands with every bump. There is no advantage to poly bushings in this application.
