Update, on my urethane bushing installation

I figured some might be interested in doing this project. So far, I've replaced the following:
-rear track rod bushings
-front & rear sway bar bushings(25mm & 21mm)
-one of the rear control arms(uugh, 3 more to go)
The results are impressive so far. With the sway bars done, the body stays flat around corners. The one control arm in the rear even makes a huge difference in tightening things up. Alot of people seem to think that these bushings transfer alot of noise, its the opposite. Frankly, I find the truck with much less noise. I will say, its a bear removing the old metal shells for the bonded rubber bushings on the rear control arms but the results are worth it. I'm not looking forward to the upper front control arm bushings. :beer:

I've been thinking about doing this. How about doing a writeup on this?

Where'd you get the bushings from? Do you have to get it re-aligned afterwards?
 
I'd post pics but the file size they host here is small and I have had trouble linking pics. Having said that , talk to Bruce at suspension.com
This is where I got my bushings from. I'll have to re-align it after the front control arms are done. At that time, I'll install new ball joints , tie rod assemblies, and center link as well. Removing the old metal shells from the old bushings has been the worst part of it. They basically need to be torched out, hack sawed, then chiseled out.:beer:
