How hard is it to replace the rear leaf spring bushings on a 2wd 98 Dak?
Is it worth it to go with the high end bushings and are they easier or harder to install? LINK
Any tips on doing this?
Any things to avoid?
All help is appreciated Thanks

I've done leaf spring replacements, but not solely the bushings but I'd think they're practically the same so I'll give the best I can.
If have the time and a few buddies, I'd recommend taking the whole bed off because then it makes things so much easier to work with, not to mention you can check other components if you want.
And make sure you spray everything with penetrating oil a day or two before starting the work.
As far as the bushings, I'd think a ball joint press would be perfect to remove the old ones and replace the new ones
