i did them over when i did my liftreall easy to do but u may need an alignment after. best bet is the mark the ecentric cam bolts so you can get it close. i used a ball joint press to press the old bushings out. energy suspension makes them in polyurethane but u have to reuse the metal parts

I used a huge vice with a 3 foot cheater pipe and a BFH to press mine out. The new ones go in a lot easier than the old ones come out. Putting the control arms back on the truck by yourself is a little tricky. I finally figured out that a floor jack and a 2x4 works pretty good. I used OEM bushings.

IIRC, Arbitary Notion just burned his old ones out and popped in his new ones.

Here's a pic of the pipe fittings I modified to press the bushings out. http://community.webshots.com/photo/185194728/185195196gFQQuE Here's a pic of the vise I used to press them out: http://community.webshots.com/photo/185947798/185947798gIQSCg#
