Default No bushings with shocks

I am installing a set of KYB GR-2 shocks on my truck. The rears didn't come with any type of bushings or anything (just the shocks in a box) and the ones on the old ones have disintegrated. Am I supposed to use bushings in the rear?

They should have came with new bushings, go back to where you got 'em, and swap 'em out. Verify that they do indeed have all the parts you need in there before leaving.

I picked up a set of bushings from Pep Boys last week. Check there.

Ok. I was getting thrown off by the generic install instructions. I have the type where they are already pressed into the shocks.
