thats a nice kit but im in no place to spend that much on bushings. this truck is a "replace when it fails" kind of thing.

If it were up to me I would install the OEM bushings. They lasted you this long. The Panhard rod can be brutal on bushings, especially if you have a lift. The only benefit I ever saw from poly's was that you didn't need a press to install them.

Try one of our sponsors, Altlantic British. If they don't have them or can't get them to you quickly, try Rovers North or see if Lucky8 can't get them for you.

AB will take good care of you. I'm sure they have the parts in stock and you'll probably have them by Wednesday. That way, you know what you're doing this coming weekend!
