Default New Bushings?

I am tracking down a number of squeaks and chirps with my disco. Replaced the idler and tensioner pulleys and greased both the front and rear driveshafts. That has quieted things down a bit. My next step is to re-torque my shocks but I was also thinking bushings should be addressed. So here are my questions:
  1. If the bushings are in good shape, is it worth it to take them out, regrease them and put back in?
  2. If they should be replaced, does anybody have any experience with this kit? https://www.roversnorth.com/parts/pb...t_discovery_ii

You do not want to remove an reinstall the old bushing.
You'll need a press to do the job.
They come in soft, medium, and firm, and depending on how you want it to ride, and how much extra weight you have or plan to add(bumpers, skid plates, cargo, etc)all come in to play for how stiff or firm your ride will be.
I have done bushings in several vehicles, but not my D2.
Some are ok...others can be a nightmare...and usually the ones that look the easiest.
