I'm ready to replace the various bushings in my '96 CC. Spring eye bushings are all but gone and klunk at every pothole, cab rear is 3/4" lower than adjacent bed at driver's side, etc. Have looked at Energy Suspension; they have most of what I need, though I can't tell (at night when I remember to) which rear leaf bushing I need. E/S also doesn't appear to offer the 'total bushing kit' for my truck, from what I can tell, so it appears I have to order a la carte, at greater expense (no surprise there). Jack-it in Utah sells another brand, with greasable sleeves & zerk fittings throughout; might be slightly more spendy, but might be worth it, too. Does anyone have any suggestions re manufacturer, vendor, kits, best prices, and anything else I should know?
Thank you all, yet again.
Josh R

I bought an Energy "kit" for the front springs. It included the front shackle bushings and both of the front spring bushings (six total in kit). It was like $49, I think - but that was 2-3 years ago. Get the black ones, they have graphite in them and are less prone to squeaking.
