Default Polybrush kits

Hey guys I'm probably soon going to try and replace these I've have replaced shocks and springs but I am getting a really loud clunk/bang over big bumps and feel the very small bumps even on the road, so which one of these would give me a very nice ride on the highway but also very nice off-road.
I know there are small descriptions there but I'd rather have some opinions first.

Get the soft bushings. Stiff ones are for sports cars. These trucks ride rough enough as it is and you don't need anything to stiffen them up further. The only real benefit to stuff bushings is high-speed cornering, which is pretty much irrelevant.

Only other reason I can imagine for wanting stuff bushings here would be if you regularly carry a lot of weight in your truck. But for normal use I'd want the softer ones.

IMHO... I'm still thinking the comfort (medium hard) bushings would wear away faster since these pigs ride rough already.

Well although when I looked them up it seems like they only sell the orange ones for the discovery 2 and they other ones are for different ones.

UK company Poweflex does the firmer purple bushings.

The loud clunk from the rear when going over a bump is not a bushing issue.

I had that but it mysteriously went away when I installed Terrafirma shocks. It did happen when I had OME's on.

Commonly on the D2, a loud clunk over bumps from the rear is the rear watts linkage. If you can't ID the noise source, take it to a pro

Tossing parts at cars without diagnosis is just throwing away money...

Poly bushings can creak and be noisy if they aren't greased regularly. I'd get rubber bushings if I were replacing any of mine.
