Patience, elbow grease, time, and some Selective Serotonin Re-uptake Inhibitors (just kidding). Spend a little time looking at what you are going to do and make a plan to do it in a logical sequence. Like everything else in this world. Others may disagree, but consider removing the shocks first. It made it easier for me. This endeavor made my hoist pay for itself. haha
I was initially told they (rubber ones) would have to be pressed in, but I didn’t need to do that. I feel the people using the PU bushings that don’t squeak are just plain lucky. FWIW

Patience, elbow grease, time, and some Selective Serotonin Re-uptake
Inhibitors (just kidding). Spend a little time looking at what you are
going to do and make a plan to do it in a logical sequence. Like
everything else in this world. Others may disagree, but consider
removing the shocks first. It made it easier for me. This endeavor made
my hoist pay for itself. haha

I would like to try a different compound on each corner - but, for

Good luck and to all going to Texas - "have a good time". I wish I
was
going.

What is the main advantage of the Poly A-arm bushings? If they are
replaced with the stock rubber, I assume you would not have the
squeaking, correct.
Thanks,
